Dear Beth, What an excellent discover !!! Thank you so much ! we have now the proof that this brooch was an wedding gift from the prince and princess of wales. Franck --Previous Message-- : I don't recollect that we ever decided on the : provenance of QEII's large turquoise brooch. : : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/thread/1424380699.html : : I agree with what Franck said in 2015 : ---that it belonged initially to Queen Mary : and was given to her as a wedding gift by : King Edward and Queen Alexandra. It is : entirely possible that the central section : is detachable and was the jewel QM was : wearing in the photo Franck posted last : year. : : : The sketch comes from the Penny Illustrated : Paper There are some slight differences but : that is to be expected when comparing a : sketch to a photo of the actual jewel. : : : : : Edit: I have just found an earlier thread : about this brooch : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1405000213.html : and noticed that Gert-Jan provided a photo : which clearly shows the details of the : brooch : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1405075398.html :
