I seem to recall we have had a discussion about this turquoise parure picture previously.
There are several pictures from the occasion, from various angles, and a couple have been retouched. Thus it was never easy to spot what necklace the Duchess of York was wearing, but I seem to recall we settled on the turquoise one.
Anyway - thank you again for all the pictures. I am always happy to see new (or at least unknown to me) pictures of the Queen Mother from the 1920s and 1930s.

: The late Queen Elizabeth received a pearl

: necklace, and an amethyst necklace for her
: wedding in 1923. There have never been any
: pictures showing her wear any of these
: necklaces, and I had the idea that she
: possibly did so in the picture you posted
: where she is wearing a crinoline dress.
:
: Boffer confirmed that the picture showed her
: wear the well known pearl and diamond
: necklace of Queen Alexandra, not any of the
: wedding presents I was thinking of.
:
: In the latest picture posted by Nellie, a
: very young Duchess of York appears to wear
: the complete turquoise parure she also
: received for her wedding. It is a very nice
: parure, sadly she rarely wore it and there
: are no colour pictures of her wearing it as
: far as I know.
