As I mentioned in my previous post there are many pieces missing in action in the UK collection. I think that part of this is due to having a monarch who is not really excited by jewellery (not a criticism of Her Majesty just an observation.
Pieces I can immediately think of include:-
* 2 sapphires tiaras.
* Sautoirs of pearls, diamonds, sapphires belonging to Queen Mary and the Queen Mum.
* Sapphire suite given to Queen Mum for her wedding.
* Indian emerald jewellery
* Turquoise parure last seen on Princess Margaret
* various stomachers of diamonds, pearls and emerald (* part of diamond stomacher worn at golden jubilee lunch).
I also suspect that some Greville pieces have not been worn.
I will do some more research and add to list as soon as I can.
