Dear Arthur, I was very pleased to have news of you ! I am also pleased to know that you had professional challenges ! I thank you for your kind photos. I am pretty sure it is an aquamarine and diamond bracelet ! I wish you a very Happy Christmas, Franck --Previous Message-- : Hello Franck and Beth, : : thank you to both of you for this : interesting thread about Queen Elizabeth : II's aquamarine bracelets. : : I fear, though, that I will be of no help on : this particular matter. I don't want to draw : hasty conclusions, and all the pictures : posted of the 1957 film performance are : either too small or too blurry (or both) for : me to give a sure and assertive answer about : the bracelet worn by the Queen. I can only : say it does not look like the bracelet of : the Brazilian aquamarine parure (which is : coherent with the fact that the bracelet of : the brazilian parure was given to the Queen : only the following year, in 1958, according : to the website "From Her Majesty's : Jewel Vault"). : : Here are two more pictures (larger, but : probably as blurry as the other pictures : previously posted) of the 1957 film : performance, with Queen Elizabeth II : greeting actress Jayne Mansfield: : : : : : On the other hand, I can confirm that the : bracelets worn by the Queen on 11th : November, 1954 for the Royal Variety : Performance (picture posted by Beth, with : the Queen wearing Queen Alexandra's : Peeresses Kokoshnik) are indeed Queen Mary's : pair of Indian diamond bangles. : : : : : : : PS: sorry for this late answer, and for my : absence of contribution to this board in the : past weeks. I have been kept recently very : busy with professional challenges, ingoing : and outgoing family visits, pre-Christmas : fuss and so on, so I had hardly any time to : devote to this board (to my very own : dismay!). But I'm perfectly fine! : : :
