Dear LauraM, Thank so much about these information. Indeed I had written to ursula asking (her few years ago) to give information about jewels given to the Duchess of York in 1923. At that time she had not a lot of information. Therefore, please find a below a post concerning my list of jewels. http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1412177766.html I remind you that I have never found a complete list of wedding gifts or photos of jewels (apart from the one from the family) contrary to princess Elizabeth.. Thank you about the ruby and diamond brooch. I think it is this one worn her lapel : (I have a photo in color where you can see it is a ruby - worn in Australia) Franck --Previous Message-- : Hi Franck : : I am a little confused about your message : concerning the information about the : Duchess's jewels.
