The significance of this painting for jewellery lovers is that it is said to have detailed painting of the opal bracelet which formed part of the suite Queen Victoria gave Alexandra as a wedding present, as well as a depiction of the opal bracelet given to her by the Ladies of Manchester. If a larger image of the painting is available it might enable us to see what type of opals were in the two jewels.
Does any one know of such an image?
Or another painting which depicts the opals?
The bracelet given by Queen Victoria
The bracelet presented by the Ladies of Manchester.
