Is Clare Phillips' comment in her 1996 : book (as per Christian's post in 2012) based : on Nadelhoffer's 1984 book? : : 3. What does Christopher Vachaudez give as : his source? A direct link to Cartier's : archives or to Nadelhoffer's book? : : Second collier : : : : I think that everyone is agreed that the one : worn by Queen Mary did come from Queen : Alexandra. : : It would be of great interest to all if : someone had a photo of the necklace with the : emeralds and rubies. : : Without emeralds and rubies. : : : :
