Many thanks Arthur. --Previous Message-- : Hello Joye, : : the pictures are visible on my PC, but I : know that pictures from Getty website are : sometimes mischievous... : : The number of the pictures is: : 98301175 : 98301185 : 98301196 : 98301205 : 98301213 : 98301367 : You can enter these numbers directly in the : search box on Getty Images' website. : : : --Previous Message-- : Would so love to see these pics, but alas I : cannot. : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you, Baxter, that sounds very : convincing! : : Franck, thank you for the clue. Here are the : Getty pictures of the return dinner aboard : HMS Britannia in Kuwait during the Queen's : tour of Middle-East in 1979 (Getty : erroneously locates these pics in Abu Dhabi, : in the United Arab Emirates): : : : : : : : : : But these pictures are too small to confirm : with certainty that this necklace is the : "Kuwaiti necklace" identified by : Baxter. The necklace could also be Queen : Anne and Queen Caroline's necklaces. : : : --Previous Message-- : Dear Baxter, : : We have a photo of Queen Elizabeth II : wearing a two pearl strands pearls necklace : with a diamond clasp during the golf tour in : 1979. The photo was taken in the Britania : (You can see the photo in Getty images). She : is wearing a orange dress with the Vladimir : pearl and diamond tiara. : : Perhaps, it is the pearl necklace that was : given to her during the tour ! : : Best regards, : : Franck : : --Previous Message-- : There seems to be a dark or missing pearl on : the right in one of these strands. : : I wonder how the Queen chooses among all : these similar pearls! I can picture a row : of pearls hanging on hooks where she can : reach for them, but of course they would : actually be stored in their individual : boxes. Pearls need to be worn, so perhaps : she has some sort of routine for them. : : : : : : : : : :
