1. Antique collet and tapered line bracelet presented by the Ladies of Ireland.
This is the "plain" diamond bracelet in the Royal Watcher's series of photos.
Mardije's information allowed me to search the newspapers and I discovered that the bracelet was presented to Charlotte, the 5th Countess on Friday 12 June 1874 by a group of Irish ladies. By this time the Spencers had returned to England. The idea of raising money to present a bracelet was initiated by an anonymous letter to the Freeman's Journal 14 February 1874, and in support of raising money to show the widespread appreciation of Irish women, the writer forwarded a donation of twenty pounds.
The bracelet presented was selected from items tendered by leading jewellery firms in England and Ireland, with the one tendered by the Irish firm of Waterhouse and Co., of Dublin being the choice of a committee.
Raine Spencer can be seen wearing the bracelet in the photos of her in a blue evening gown. I suspect that, in the photo of the current Countess wearing the diamond pendant earrings, the Countess is also wearing the bracelet.
2. Pendant emerald cross - with 5 emeralds, 4 pear shaped diamonds and 4 rose cut diamonds mounted in gold and silver.
3. The brooch with 3 sapphires (which can be seen in the Royal Watchers series) was set in 19th century style by Hennells in 1937.
4. Lozenge shaped diamond brooch. The diamonds are set in gold and silver.
Unfortunately, I cannot yet find any information about when Queen Alexandra presented the shamrock bracelet to the 5th Countess.
