--Previous Message-- [snip] : In The Queen's Jewels (pages : 118-119), Leslie Field identifies these : pendants with the Duchess of Gloucester's : pendant earrings (as they are named in Hugh : Roberts' The Queen's Diamonds , pages : 114-117) (A in your panel). This seems very : plausible since, despite the bluriness of : the picture, we can see a scrolling frame on : the "B" pendants, which is the : case of the "A" earrings, but not : of the "C" earrings. [snip] I'm with Arthur on this one and think that the visible scrolls of the pendants's frames in the picture of Queen Mary suggest that the pendants "B" are indeed the earrings "A". BTW, is there any reason to believe that Queen Mary's brooch was not only used to make the earrings "C" but that the brooch itself was a re-design of a pair of drop earrings that Queen Mary didn't want to wear? Or did I misunderstand Nellie's sentence " I would just add that Queen Mary seemed to never ever wear drop earrings so putting a pair on a chain would make sense to me. Then using them to form a brooch makes sense too."?
