Thank you for this wonderful overview Annie. What a treat it was to read these threads tonight - and what a visual feast. I have one query, however, as I suspect - from a visual examination - that the pearls worn by QEII in your second photo in the thread on the Queens Anne and Caroline pearls (QEII is wearing a gold dress) are not the historic pearls. To me, neither the size of the pearls nor how closely the two strands sit together seem to match other known photos of these pearls. I acknowledge that I could be mistaken, but I think HM is wearing a different combination or necklace on that occasion.
