Sorry I misread the lines. Correct horseshoe brooch was Q Mary's as a young woman.
--Previous Message-- : Hello Joye, : I am a touch confused by your post. : : Ursula's site has a photograph (presumably : from a contemporary newspaper) and states : that Alice de Rothchild gave QM a diamond : brooch depicting a scent bottle and true : lover's knot. : http://www.royal-magazin.de/england/queen-mary-marriage-presents.htm : My reading of Field suggests that is what : Queen Mary gave to QEQM in addition to a : "small diamond horseshoe brooch which : she herself had worn as a young : woman..." No provenance was given for : the horseshoe brooch. : : --Previous Message-- : I have posted below in the appropriate place : but thought I would post here also as : further down posts are not always read. : Fields page 32 say Queen Mary gave her only : daughter in law at the time namely QEQM a : small diamond horseshoe brooch which was her : wedding gift from Miss Alice de Rothchild. : : The new paragraph also has info Q Mary : offering QEQM jewels left to the Crown. : It mentions QEQM chose snake bracelet from Q : Alexandra plus other jewels . I only mention : snake bracelet as a poster brought it up : recently. : : :
