    Thanks Joye
    Your comments tie into my (somewhat meager)notes "2 of 7 pearl wedding gift from Bahrain - 1947"

    Cheers!

    : Actually only 2 pearls from the gift were used
    : to make up these earrings.
    : I had a long ongoing discussion with the
    : Royal Collection as the actual gift was a
    : shell containing 7 pearls.
    : Royal Collection was not well informed and
    : tried to brush me off with the earrings
    : being circa 1930 changed to circa 1947. I
    : told them the earrings were not in the
    : wedding gift book 1947 the story changed and
    : was told 2 pearls were used from Sheikh of
    : Bahrain gift and personal diamonds.

    : Thanks Beth1, you may be right about the
    : earrings.
    : At first I thought not but if I enlarge the
    : picture they look the right shape and size
    : as other known pictures - always hard to
    : tell for sure from these older pictures.

    : Here is a close-up of the Bahraini earrings

    : As for the rings, I have come across quite a
    : few pictures of HM with multiple diamond
    : band rings. Here is an example of 3
    : additional rings (the fourth is her
    : engagement/wedding ring combo).

    : Hello Bryce and Joye. I have noticed this
    : bracelet on HM before, but I have no
    : knowledge of its provenance.
    : I hope that some one has some information,
    : as it is such an interesting bracelet.
    : Re the rings that you asked about Joye. I
    : apologise, but I have no information. I hope
    : that someone does.

    : I have come across a couple of pictures of a
    : four-row pearl bracelet with an " X
    : " detail.
    :
    : I am not sure if the is the "back"
    : or another bracelet or a separate piece. I
    : do not recall hearing about this design
    : before.
    :
    : Can anyone help with some details please?
    :
    : Here are a couple of pictures - from Jordan

    : Hello All,
    : I think that the Queen's earrings under
    : discussion might be those given to her by
    : the Ruler of Bahrain to HM's as a wedding
    : present.
