History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: QA of UK and Possible Sapphires

Thanks OmerH for clarifying the stones and to Beth for the history lesson on the provenance of the sapphires. I did not now either and it goes to show no question is really a silly question.

Regards,

Dave.

Im not sure if they're all sapphires. Maybe the Queen mixed her gems for her coronation. The bow brooches at the bottom.of the pic has Queen Victoria's emerald fringe earring as a pendant.

Not entirely sure about the bow brooch above the fringe at her waist. When it was sold among Pss Margaret's things it had a turquoise center. My guess is it has an emerald and the drops are Queen Alexandra's emerald earrings now worn by Duchess of Cornwall.
