History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Queen Mary. Pearl and diamond necklace from Gondal

Dave I think that you may be right.

The Pearl and Diamond Flower and Scroll necklace does look like the necklace worn by the Princess Royal.

We should compare the two necklaces.

Beth you are able to find something new on a regular, wow. The Pearl and Diamond Flower and Scroll necklace does look like the necklace worn by the Princess Royal given her by her parents for I believe her wedding.

Regards,

Beth.

I have previously suggested that Queen Mary's multi strand pearl and diamond element choker today worn by the Duchess of Gloucester

may have been the wedding gift from the Thakore of Gondal (or the Ranee depending on which paper is consulted).

Description of gift

I was very much mistaken

Here is a sketch of the gift

Has anyone ever noticed that jewel?

I wondered if Queen Mary wore it attached to her gown at the Devonshire House ball (draped below another jewel below the baroque pearl) But I think I might be imagining things.

The right hand side of the bodice (as we view the photo) does not have the same elements, so I think that the left hand side definitely has jewels attached.
