I think back during the time of the banquet, I suggested that it might be this bracelet worn by Queen Elizabeth. Cheers! Bryce -Previous Message-- : Hello Bryce, : : "delicate" is a very subjective : comment, so it is not a really descriptive : word... : : I am sure the bracelet worn at the State : Banquet for the Irish President is not the : black and white pearl bracelet. The design : looks really different. I would say it is a : 19th century design, typical of : late-Georgian or Victorian jewellery. But I : do not have seen this bracelet earlier. : : : --Previous Message-- : I do not think that I would describe the : Irish : State bracelet as "delicate". : Looks pretty chunky. : : Could this one possibly be the Black & : White Pearl bracelet?? : : Cheers! : Bryce : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you, Baxter, for the "older" : pictures! : : And thank you, Franck, for the indications : about Field.
