This picture was taken at Covent Garden in July 1974. I would say the Greville Emerald necklace was the third most worn of the Queen Mother's precious stone necklaces. On the whole it was worn for more important events. And because you don't often see the Queen Mother at Buckingham Palace State Banquets it is easy to underestimate how often this necklace was worn. But I have seen her wear it for the State Banquets given for the President of Sudan in 1964, the King of Malaysia in 1974 and the King of Sweden in 1975. And on other evenings during, for example, both 1958 State Visits by the Presidents of Italy and Germany, the Shah of Iran in 1959, the Kings of Belgium and Greece in 1963. Also the Queen Mother often took the Emeralds abroad. To Canada, New Zealand, Australia, she wore them on two occasions in Adelaide in 1966. And she wore them for a night out in Dundee in 1967. --Previous Message-- : : Sorry I have no idea of the occasion.
