What is strange with the bangle is the fact that Queen Mary was also worn this bracelet with the Vladimir tiara in the 1930's. Therefore, the term used 'originla parure" (also by Leslie Field) is strange. I am sure this bangle still exists. Best regards, Franck --Previous Message-- : Many thanks for the information Barbara. : : I suspect that the term "original : parure" might refer to the suite worn : by the Duchess of Cambridge. : : According to Roberts page 174 (quoting the : Duchess of Teck's journal in footnote 1) the : Duchess of Teck was given her mother's : emerald necklace in 1857; however, the : Duchess of Cambridge retained at least 11 : emeralds for another necklace.
