Thank you very much Baxter! Now thats a possibility, yes! Very much a 1920's style sautoir, perhaps the reason why its not been worn by anyone in more recent decades. --Previous Message-- : : Franck, you asked about this before but I : have just recently found a slightly clearer : photo of the Duchess of York likely wearing : the sapphire necklace described by Roberts: : : Queen Elizabeth (when Duchess of York) used : Sintzenich to make a new sapphire and : diamond chain pendant in 1929. : : : : : I think it was most likely made from the : wedding gift presented by Queen Mary. : : : : Has anyone ever seen the bracelet? Perhaps : it was used also. The large brooch was of : course a favorite, worn throughout the Queen : Mother's life, and the small sapphire brooch : went to Princess Margaret. : : :
