I think I was thinking of pearls as more personal (regardless of any heirloom consideration) and of course those queens consort wore the jewels that went with the job, so to speak. Alexandra was certainly not short of pearls herself. --Previous Message-- : Nellie, : : Although your logic is a reasonable : assumption, I don't think it is the case. : Both QM and QA wore many of the jewels QV : wore frequently and left to the Crown. For : example the GIV diadem, Queen Adelaide : circlet, the coronation collet necklace, the : fringe brooch, etc. Maybe those aren't : "closely associated" with QV, but : there are many photographs of her wearing : many of those. : : : I think the more plausible reason is that : both QA and QM had MANY strands of pearls to : choose from, and didn't need to : "resort" to wearing those two : strands. : : Bob :
