I too believe the 14 stone was a mistake. I remember that e-gallery and how it was better in some aspects than the site today. --Previous Message-- : --Previous Message-- : Thank you Baxter for sharing the exhibit : picture. Is it one from your personal : collection? : : : Bryce, to answer your question, I found that : pic on the web years ago. But I do wish I : could have seen that exhibition in person. : : We've always been a bit confused about bar : brooches. They're even harder to sort out : than pearl strands! And they were likely : relatively easy to make, especially with so : many loose diamonds in the vaults. : : That 2005 exhibition seemed to make the : waters even murkier. Back then exhibitions : did not yet have their own microsites as : they do now, but the items on display were : added to the e-gallery. This included all : the textiles in the Queen Mother's 'White : Wardrobe' as well as the jewels shown in the : photo posted earlier. They were all : subsequently removed. : : Here is a screengrab of the brooch's page: : : : : Unfortunately I don't have the 'About this : work of art' page which would have provided : more detail. Note the question marks after : the date and maker. I think perhaps Queen : Mary's 14-stone brooch was mistakenly : included in the exhibition instead of Queen : Victoria's Garter Bar Brooch . :
