One of the reasons why I included that last list of jewels (on offer by Jitta) is because it might help in possible new identifications.
From memory: there are 2 smaller sapphire brooches in the BRF. 1 of them was acquired shortly after the original acquisition, the other one: story unknown. One was worn by PR, the other one left the family with Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood.

Such a wonderful discovery ErikS, hurray and thank you. I wonder if any other jewels were acquired by QV's father in law for the occasion. The article spoke about a smaller sapphire surrounded by brilliants and strings of pearls. Could this have been the one worn by the late PD or indeed the one worn by the PR? Unless I have mixed up things while reading, it sounds as if they were two such sapphires sent to London.
Regards,
Dave.
