Many thanks LDMJ, I realise that I don't know as much about these jewels as other posters, but I thought I recognised the bracelet which posters have discussed previously. I think it may have been Baxter who initially made the connection. (I apologise if I am incorrect and have overlooked another poster's insights - please correct me if I am mistaken) Below is a link to one of the discussions. In that I referred to a diamond bracelet, but it turned out that I was mistaken and it was a sapphire and diamond bracelet of QEQM. See http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/thread/1430174591.html [NB I am not suggesting that this sapphire and diamond bracelet has any connection to Mrs Greville. I have no evidence about that.] The link which I posted to LauraM's post about Mrs Greville giving HM QEQM a set of pearls is my only point of reference for the pearls. My understanding from the information LauraM posted is that Mrs Greville gave this gift in 1936 - so it was separate from the jewels which she left to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. (I acknowledge that I have not read the biography which LauraM referred to)
