I believe that the ruby bow brooch was one of the pieces Mrs Greville left to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Apart from the flamboyant style (bringing to mind the style of the Greville diamond bow brooch featured in Hugh Robert's book) I have the following cutting from 1937, which indicates that Mrs Greville did own a large ruby bow brooch.

Can we assume that this is one of the 60 or so legacy pieces left by Mrs. Margaret Greville? I wonder about the bracelet PM has on her left hand in photo as well. Maybe we have only seen about maybe 10 or so pieces form the Greville legacy.
