Thank you very much Barbara, this is most interesting. Now, what a mystery this necklace is becaming!! I also think the elements similar to the brooch do not seem to match all the other rounder ones from HM necklace... Can we call a coincidence that all the elements in the Charteris necklace, including the small diamond flower/star ones, are similar to the Kent necklace?? Is there any information known on the Charteris/Wemyss amethyst necklace? I really can't wait to see what our dear board experts will dig on this one . --Previous Message-- : While browsing through the net, I found these : pictures of Lady Mary Charteris (daughter of : The Earl of Wemyss) on her wedding day, back : in September 2012... The bride wears a : necklace whose elements look identical to : the Kent parure's brooch (plus the two : 'other' necklace elements in the Kent : necklace). : : : No, I won't comment on this bridal gown . : : : : : : And now my question: could it be, that the : brooch worn nowadays by HM is not an : original part of the set (Kent demi-parure), : but was aquired/received somewhen later : (with the other two elements, now included : in the necklace) and that the original : brooch was indeed an oval one with rows of : diamonds to surround them and not the one : with this scroll/sunray design??? The oval : brooch : (http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1409144593.html) : would actually fit much better to the oval : elements of the necklace... : : For me it looks like the hexagonal elements : were not made to go with the oval ones... It : would be interesting to see the combs...I'm : puzzled... :
