It's hard to see if there's "1837" and "1897" and the imperial crown on that chain of links worn by Queen Alexandra in the picture in your post, Alyend. The newspaper in my post from the Library of Congress mentioned a long chain of diamond links with the imperial crown in the center, the 1837 date in brilliants on one side and the 1897 date in brilliants on the other side. Ursula shows it in a shorter form, making it looking as a bracelet. --Previous Message-- : It is (or at least was) a long diamond chain. : Queen Alexandra is wearing it in this : picture: : : http://static.flickr.com/79/256647718_d9413c601b.jpg : --Previous Message-- : Thank you, Ursula!
