The card on the item below the Greville ruby necklace says it is the gift of the Duchess of Kent. I have not re-read the lists from The Times to see what HRH's gift was. To me it looks like a clock, not a pendant, but I could be very mistaken.
Unfortunately, Photobucket is not allowing me to log in tonight (again!!) so I cannot post an image. I'll try photobucket again later but, if it is still giving me grief, perhaps I will have to wait to post the images tomorrow.
