Queen Mary in 1929. Photo from the Wellcome Collection.
Detail
I have now found on the Royal Collection site (RCIN 2503011) a photo of Queen Mary in 1918 wearing the large oval pink topaz as a pendant.
Detail
I recollect reading at some time that King George V gave Queen Mary a large pink topaz as a gift, either for her birthday or Christmas. I cannot remember where I read this -- perhaps in Pope-Hennessy's biography? Does anyone remember?
Obviously Queen Mary's collection of pink topaz jewels increased over time. It would be fascinating to track when she received each -- or should I say acquired each.
