History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Emerald Necklace

I’m going to shoot from the hip here without looking anything but theire’s a favoured jeweller for the ME whose work this exactly mirrors. It’s a sort of LEGO of diamonds, the chosen coloured gemstone and yellow gold and it always comes in these parures.

Whilst this piece has nothing to recommend it I still dislike the 100th birthday brooch more.

Mind you can’t say this piece does anything for me:

Nothing wrong with with the rubies or diamonds it’s the setting. It’s sort of so plonked!

I had totally forgotten about that necklace OmerH.

QEII has been photographed wearing so many jewels which have been given to her. Her diplomatic gestures honour the donors, but I suspect that the frequency with which she wears a jewel says more about her personal tastes.
