: From what I understand the pearl and diamond
: bracelet given to Queen Elizabeth II by
: Prncess Louise (from Field) is a choker.
:
: I also do hope that she was given the second
: bracelet to create a choker.
:
: (Therefore, princess Louise has given the
: most significant jewels to the british royal
: family.)
:
: if Queen Elizabeth has also inherited the
: pearl and diamond bracelets/choker from
: Queen Mary, the two pièces would create/be a
: very beautiful demi-parure.
:
: Dear Ursula, I do hope, one day,you will do
: the same with the jewels given to the
: Duchess of York as wedding gifts in 1923..
:
:
: Thank yo sooo much for your kind feedback
: all of you...
:
: The chocker is very well to seen when
: Princess Louise wore it as bride

: and in the center of the display on the
: table with all wedding gifts - as a long
: line in the open box:

:
: To bad, that we don't have an picture of the
: ruby spray, the present from the emperor of
: Austria, her godfather...hoped it will be a
: spray like the fuchsia.
:
: Of course Franck...some "jewel
: collections" are very difficult in
: research - like the "Yorks" but
: I'm still working on this puzzle - as well
: as on others.
