The cropped image cuts out some even more interesting jewels Lady Michelham has worn for the coronation in 1911. Her husband Herbert Stern, 1st Baron Michelham, was a portuguese baron (Herbert de Stern) and one of the wealthiest men of his time, and Lady Michelham's jewels certainly give evidence of her husband's means. I can't decide if I'm more intrigued by her wonderful pearls or by the two large stones she's wearing as a stomacher.
