Like you Beth at first glance I thought Hm was wearing the Kuwaiti pearls but I now remember from the last time I really looked at the Queen`s pearls, about the small pearls between the large ones near the back, which is a definite give away for the Indian pearls with ruby clasp! Fabulous to see Queen Alexandra`s wedding brooch again, it really stood out on the black & nicely positioned so not to be hidden by the poppies. Also very interesting was the choice of earrings, I think it is quite a long time since HM has worn the Bahrain pearls, last seen I think when worn by Sophie, Countess of Wessex? I thought Sophie`s earring could be the small diamond pendant earrings with the detachable ruby centres? Thanks for all the great photos & information Arthur & Baxter. http://i68.tinypic.com/5y7z0k.jpg The Queen hosting a banquet for the President of South Korea at Buckingham Palace on 1st December 2004. : : : : :
