History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Hannah de Rothschild, Countess of Rosebery's ruby bracelet

The bracelet reminds me very much of that in the Collection of our current Queen with the detachable Rose of York centre which was originally a wedding present to Queen Mary in 1893 and then given by QM to her grand daughter on her marriage in 1947

That's a very convincing conclusion, Beth. And a lovely idea, that a jewel to commemorate a deceased relative would incorporate a wedding present once given by said family member. If indeed a composite it's particularly well done. The bracelet is gorgeous and the design of the band highlights the centre part in the best possible way.
