Thank you Bryce and Arthur for this information. I think that QEII wore her wedding gift bracelet more frequently in the earlier years of her marriage, but less frequently in recent years, although I think she wore it for the most recent official portrait for New Zealand released at the time of her Jubilee. As HM tends to wear only one bracelet for evening events, I suspect that they are often selected because they are part of a parure. Bryce, I hadn't realised that Queen Victoria had left her Garter jewels to the crown. I learn new things each time from this board. Many thanks.
