Re: Jewellery for Cowes.
Great find thank you OmerH!! I strongly suspect that Benzie of Cowes is the so called "court jeweller" referred to in the newspaper item. I noticed in the heritage section of the firm's website that they held a royal warrant from Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary. Interesting, as I very much doubt that Queen Mary was the least bit interested in matters nautical, but undoubtedly she gave jewelled or enameled items to various officials etc over time. The photos of Princess Diana are a wonderful find. What a good eye OmerH has! I have looked at those photos so often; yet, failed to notice the flag pinned to the velvet choker. It proves that there is always something new to discover!
