I wonder if some posters would be willing to try to compile a list of the jewels worn by QEQM during her State Visit to France in 1938 - despite the limitations we have because of the lack of detailed photos?
There are some jewels I think we are all agreed upon, and we have some photos to illustrate these. Perhaps others have additional photos.
For those occasions where we don't agree, we could skip over mentions of specific jewels, such as additional brooches.
I think that the earrings are easy to identify, as are the necklaces and tiaras.
Merlin, if you can find the photo you referred to, it would be a major coup for the Royal jewel world. (I know the problems of moving house and then trying to find items easily. Impossible! But my experience is that you will eventually find the photo -- even if it is much, much later. Once it took me over a year to re-connect with a rather obvious object!)
Then, with agreement between individual posters, we could perhaps put an entry on the Royal Jewels List board. It would be a great resource - even if it was not complete. Not being complete would allow others to add to it later if, and when, new information became available.
PS I am not the one to do an entry on the List board as I don't have the technical skills.
