which sapphire brooch for Q Mary please? --Previous Message-- : Hi Nellie - there is some confusion here I : think. : : The choker was bought by Queen Mary. : : : : Leslie Field (1992 pg 110) refers to : "Queen Alexandra's Bracelet" as : "a four-row pearl bracelet with a large : sapphire and diamond clasp" : seen here (sort of)on her left wrist. : : : Fellow poster LDMJ suggests that perhaps my : original picture is of QA's bracelet and not : the choker. : : They are 2 separate pieces. With out a : better picture of QA's bracelet, it is hard : to tell for sure. : : Cheers! : Bryce : --Previous Message-- : : Thank you Bryce. Looks like a match. I don't : recall ever seeing that choker before, nor : even worn by Queen Alexandra. : : : : --Previous Message-- : Hi Nellie : Here is a side-by-side comparison : : Choker : : : Bracelet : : : Thanks for your input. : Cheers! : Bryce : : : --Previous Message-- : : I need to see the choker. : : --Previous Message-- : I reviewed my notes and noticed that the : Empress Maria Feordorovna choker is indeed : convertible into 2 bracelets and/or a : brooch. : : LDMJ - I am not sure of your reference to : Queen Alexandra's bracelet. Could you : please elaborate? : : Nellie - do you think it the sapphire from : the choker or something else? : : Thanks : Cheer! : Bryce : : --Previous Message-- : : Looks like a sapphire to me. : : : --Previous Message-- : : It seems to me that this is Queen : Alexandra's bracelet . : --Previous Message-- : I initially thought that the bracelet worn : by : HM in this picture might have been the : Empress Maria Feodorovna Sapphire Choker : shortened to make a bracelet. : : Now I wonder if it is not one of the Diamond : and Enamel Cypher bracelets we were recently : discussing. : : What are your thoughts ?? : : p.s. - Sorry I do not have a date for the : photo. : : : : : Cheers! : Bryce : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
