Hello Beth1, I remain rather sceptical. The bracelet worn by QEQM in 1936 does not seem to have as many "loops" around the arm as Queen Alexandra's snake bracelet. Moreover, Queen Alexandra's snake bracelet seems to be made of plain gold, which is not the case for QEQM's bracelet. I am not even sure that QEQM's bracelet is a snake bracelet... (I think that the colour picture was previously posted by Nellie) --Previous Message-- : Some little time ago, I became interested : about a snake bracelet worn by Queen : Elizabeth the Queen Mother of the UK, and : endeavoured to see if I could identify such : a bracelet on Queen Alexandra. : Nellie has recently posted an image of a : portrait of Queen Alexandra where I think it : is clear that the bracelet was worn by Queen : Alexandra. : See : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1410349883.html : If posters look at the middle image - the : one where QA is holding a fan and zoom in on : the image, I believe that the bracelet on : HM's right arm (where she is holding the : fan) shows the same characteristics as the : one photographed on the arm on QEQM in a : portrait posted by Baxter.
