Dear Urusla,
I refer to your post concerning Princess Diana’s Sapphire jewels.
https://royal-magazin.de/england/diana-princessofwales/diana-princess-wales-sapphire-choker-necklace.htm
Please note that I was very interested by your analysis about the origin of the sapphire brooch given as a wedding gift by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Unfortunately, as you have put in relief we have no information about this origin of the brooch. Very sadly. Such a treasure !
However, I am sure that this brooch is currently in the vault waiting to be worn by the Duchess of Cambridge as all the jewels given by Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
I was also very interested by your analysis about the bracelet and the choker used with an unknown sapphire (which is not the ring).
However, I would be very grateful if you could give the source of the materials you have used on your site (on the least the name of the persons who have given the solution).
Concerning my personal situation ; It is only a private hobby nevertheless I loathe, even more, I abhor seeing my own information used by sites (or newspapers) fo commercial profits (which happened in the past !)
As such please find below a link where you can find our previous conversations about the bracelet (Beth) and the choker.

Please find also below a list of the jewels received by Princess Diana as wedding gifts. I would appreciate a lot if you would accept to add this list on your site. I can also send you photos if you want.
Last but not least, I take the opportunity to thank you for all the job you have made for many years.
With my deepest gratitude,
Franck
