Trying to identify some of Princess Mary's jewels Archived Message

I have been intrigued by some of the jewels I have seen Princess Mary, the Princess Royal, Countess of Harewood photographed wearing. I wonder if some of the following are matches? 1. Princess Mary's large pearl bracelet. According to the Illustrated London News 11 March 1922 the jewel on the left on the lower shelf in the photo below is the pearl bracelet from Mrs Ronald Greville. Mrs Greville is the only one listed in the official list published in the Times who gave a pearl bracelet. The photo which Arthur recently posted of the royal wedding gifts gives a better view. I find it very hard to see the details of this bracelet (and so I know what I am going to suggest is difficult to prove) but I wonder if Mrs Greville's gift might be the large pearl bracelet which Princess Mary was photographed wearing on a few occasions? The bracelet does appear to have a large clasp and the right number of rows of pearls. Bracelet on Princess Mary's left wrist. Bracelet on Princess Mary's right wrist 2 The sapphire and diamond bracelet given by the Duke of Windsor as a wedding gift. I suspect this is the modern narrow diamond and sapphire bracelet HRH wore on some occasions when she was photographed wearing her sapphire parure. Illustrated London News 11 March 1922 3. Emerald brooch given by the Isle of Man to the Princess as a wedding present. The Times 22 February 1922. The following is pure speculation -- I wonder if the brooch, which Princess Mary is wearing on the middle of her dress in the photo below, might have been the Manx brooch. Photo initially posted by Arthur a few days ago.
