Arthur, I did not find a picture of the Queen's Giuliano necklace in Suzy Menkes book however she did give a description which seems to fit Franck's picture. "a delicate foliate design with multicolored sapphires growing among enameled leaves". This was on p.14.
BTW, thanks to Franck for the picture of the necklace and to all who participated in the Lady Sarah Chatto jewelry, it was a wonderful thread with many pictures I had not seen before. I love seeing her wear her mother's jewelry.
--Previous Message-- : Unfortunately, according to Leslie Field (The : Queen's Jewels, page 147), Queen Elizabeth : II wears this necklace " only on : private occasions ". : IMO, such a necklace would be very : appropriate, though, for a 'semi-formal' : occasion - such as a film premiere, or a : variety performance, for example. : : Field also mentions that this necklace was : made around the turn of the century by the : Revivalist jewellers Carlo and Arthur : Giuliano. Which raises the question whether : this necklace was in the Royal collection as : soon as the early 20th century (from Queen : Alexandra? Queen Mary? and later inherited : by Queen Elizabeth II?) or if it is a later : purchase by, or gift to, Queen Elizabeth II. : : If I well remember, there is a better : picture of this necklace in Suzy Menkes' : book about the British royal jewels - : unfortunately, I do not have this book in my : library, so I can not make a scan of it. : :
