airgette - here is something I have posted in the past. I cannotr explain the numbering.
I'm not sure that all of the jewels in the schedule were returned in their original forms, because of all the reworking that had gone on over many years. Schedule of Jewels 1. Two brilliant Sleeve Bows A pair of three dropped brilliant earrings. A pair of single dopped brilliant earrings, set with several brilliants at the back. A large stoned brilliant necklace; and a brilliant cross. 2. A large brilliant Stomacher. 3. A beautifully set brilliant Crown, small, to put on the head-dress. 4. A large pearl necklace We know the nuptial crown still exists. Bury also says some "may have been re-set by Garrard's after the award [settlement] with the original stones but this is unclear; perhaps packets of stones were delivered in their place to Kielmansegge." Note Bury says unclear.
