A news report describing some of the jewels worn by the then Duchess of York in Brisbane in 1927 shows that, at one ball, she wore emerald drops with her pearls, the Strathmore tiara, an emerald brooch and her 4 Cartier bracelets featuring emeralds, diamonds, rubies and sapphires. This reminded me of the discussion which was prompted by Annie's photo. See http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1421102329.html Perhaps QEQM was given the drops after Queen Alexandra's death. A description of her jewels for a second ball is intriguing as it mentions that, with her Papyrus or Lotus tiara, she wore emerald brooches For a description of the jewels see the last 3 paragraphs in the following http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/25295505?searchTerm=Queensland%20opal%20brooch%20duchess&searchLimits=exactPhrase|||anyWords|||notWords|||requestHandler|||dateFrom|||dateTo|||l-advcategory=Article|||sortby The comment about emerald brooches may be a mistake or it may be a reference to the brooches which Franck referred to and to elements which were used in her clasp in Annie's photo. Unfortunately, I could not find any photos.
