As so many have pointed out, it is the team work which makes this board remarkable. Without Nellie's dedication to historical investigation posters would not have been able to see the stones as initially presented. Then Franck's eye made the connection. Initial press reports stated that the diamonds were meant to be made into a bar brooch - which is what has happened - and not a bracelet as stated in the London Illustrated News. Now we have the mystery of what might have happened to the half moon diamonds. The only half moon diamonds I am aware of in HM's publicly worn jewels are in the Greville earrings. --Previous Message-- : Such beautiful diamonds and a beautiful : brooch! I'm surprised the Queen doesn't : wear them more often, but the Commonwealth : reception was a very appropriate occasion, : and lends weight to the connection you've : all discovered. Congratulations! :
