Fantastic work thankyou Baxter about the Queen`s pearl necklaces. I was thinking how to go about writing a post on the same subject ie matching the pearls to the clasps & although I thought about it most of the weekend, I could not get it clear enough in my mind to start typing! You confirmed one thing, I was fairly certain I had worked out correctly, that is the pearls in Angela Kelly`s book, after looking at blury pictures of the clasp, luckily that central large pearl is quite distinctive & counting the pearls to work out the length I came to the same conclusion as you. I wonder where those pearls originated? The other very interesting thing in your post is the ruby in the clasp of the King George V pearls. However the graduated versus non graduated makes sense & is fairly easy to spot once you start looking. Regarding the Leslie Field story about the top row of the Queen`s "own made" pearls being shorter, as you say they have bound to have been re-threaded several times over the years. Thanks again Annie. --Previous Message-- : Thank you so much Baxter for your considerable : time and effort in putting together this : master-class in QEII pearls.
