I am completely lost. How many pearl necklaces has HM Queen Elsabeth II ? --Previous Message-- : Thank you Annie, : I suspect that the necklaces are the : Hanoverian Pearls - or, at least, those we : have previously decided were the Hanoverian : Pearls, as I don't think the Royal : Collection, or anyone else, has ever made a : definite comment to verify this for us. I : think it is our conclusions based on the : clasp, the size of the pearls and the gap : between the two strands. : : I am hesitant to make the connection as I : really don't know enough about all the large : pearl necklaces, except perhaps the Queen : Caroline and Queen Anne necklaces - as I : think they are very distinctive. : : What an interesting story re the clasp for : the Hanoverian necklace. Thank you. I hadn't : heard that before. It would be great if we : could find a source for that quote and then : be able to verify it, but it sounds entirely : feasible. : : Some of our posters live in the UK and have : access online to Queen Victoria's diaries. : : Would some one be able to check, please. I : am in Australia and we cannot get access to : QV's diaries online. Unfortunately, being : part of the Commonwealth does not give us : any privileges in any sphere whatsoever! :
