Many thanks Franck!

Dave the bracelets are---
1. The bracelet with coloured stones. That is a sapphire and diamond bracelet which Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother wore frequently. She had owned it since before WWII when she was photographed by Beaton.

1939



1939



1947 in South Africa



2. The all diamond item. I suspect it is the watch with the elaborate diamond bracelet band which QEQM commenced wearing during the latter part of WWII. In the photo from the Harewood wedding it is difficult to tell whether QEQM is wearing the watch or an equally elaborate bracelet which she often wore with the watch.

The diamond bracelet


The diamond bracelet and the elaborate diamond watch. The watch is closer to HM's elbow. I have previously argued that the elaborate diamond watch may have been part of the inheritance from Mrs Greville.
