: Wonderful pictures, thank you very much, PJ
: Kiser!

: This is, among other, the best view I have
: ever seen of the beautiful Greville emerald
: necklace!
:
: On PJ Kiser's first post, first picture, we
: can also see a pearl brooch that we had
: discussed a few months ago, and which has
: not been seen for decades (it had been worn
: in the 1950s by the young Queen Elizabeth
: II).
:
: The pearl and diamond earrings worn on the
: 4th picture (the picture with the red poppy)
: are possibly the pair of earrings matching
: with Queen Victoria's Jubilee Necklace,
: which were retained by QEQM after 1937
: (according to Leslie Field).
:
: The sapphire and diamond brooch worn by QEQM
: on the 5th picture of PJ's first post,
: " a large six-petalled flower with a
: central cluster of diamonds ", was an
: anniversary gift from King George VI
: (source: Field).
: This brooch as inherited by Queen Elizabeth
: II and has been worn a few times, notably at
: the Commonwealth meeting in Perth,
