Re QV's Garter jewels I would like to see a reference please. And what exactly are Garter jewels? I have seen a Royal Collection exhibition (I think) refer to a bar brooch but am not clear on what a Garter jewel might be (other than the official insignia of course). --Previous Message-- : Thank you Bryce and Arthur for this : information. : : I think that QEII wore her wedding gift : bracelet more frequently in the earlier : years of her marriage, but less frequently : in recent years, although I think she wore : it for the most recent official portrait for : New Zealand released at the time of her : Jubilee. As HM tends to wear only one : bracelet for evening events, I suspect that : they are often selected because they are : part of a parure. : : Bryce, I hadn't realised that Queen Victoria : had left her Garter jewels to the crown. I : learn new things each time from this board. : Many thanks. : : :
