I suspect that these bracelets came to the Gloucesters via Queen Mary, but have no proof. I checked the will of Mary, Duchess of Gloucester but, while she had bracelets with portraits, a pair of pearl bracelets with portraits was not amongst the jewels left to Mary Cambridge, Duchess of Teck.
Did anyone else notice what looks like a jewelled B surmounted by a small crown on the Duchess' handbag?
I also suspect that the pink topaz bracelet worn by the Duchess of Gloucester came from Queen Mary, but once again have no proof.
