Thanks Arthur. Now I know I definitely need a new brain. --Previous Message-- : As I had explained in an earlier thread, the : Turquoise and diamond parure of the Duchess : of Gloucester includes not one, but two : necklaces: : : 1) a turquoise and diamond cluster necklace, : part of the original parure, and given by : the Duchess of Teck to her daughter Queen : Mary on the occasion of her wedding to King : George V. It hangs quite low on the breast, : and each turquoise and diamond cluster is : connected to the neighbouring clusters by a : small brilliant : : 2) another necklace, with turquoise and : diamond drops, which was later added to the : parure by Queen Mary. This necklace has : larger diamond clusters between the : diamond-framed turquoises of the top line. : It is also closer to the neck than the first : necklace. : : See my post at : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1424555631.html : : Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, once : wore the two necklaces together: : : : Caption: Princess Alice, Duchess of : Gloucester, attends a film premiere at the : Dominion Theatre in London on 20th October : 1969.
