--Previous Message-- : : In July 2014 Arthur initiated an interesting : discussion about QEQM wearing the Greville : emerald necklace, and Merlin provided a list : of dates when it had been worn. Later some : others added to the list of dates. : : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1406244626.html : : Here is another occasion - this is the : earliest photo which I have found, but HM : may have worn the suite privately or on : another occasion for which I have not : noticed a photo. HM wore the jewels in : Edinburgh. The photo was published in the : Illustrated London News 10 September 1949. : : I have often wondered if the bracelet was : also part of Mrs Greville's legacy, but I : have no way of proving that; however, HM : only began to wear the bracelet in public : after the war ended - as with so many of the : jewels we now know are part of the legacy. : : : : :
