--Previous Message-- : I came across this picture - unknown to me : until yesterday. I'm curious about the : large pearl pendant suspended from the back : of Queen Alexandra's necklace. I was also : wondering about what looks like a brooch : holding her sash in place. I know the : horizontal "bar" on the small of : her back is part of her dress, it's the : roundish piece in the middle that has me : puzzled. It could very well be part of her : dress as well, but the way it overlaps the : sash makes me think it might be a brooch. : Any help would be appreciated. : :
