History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Princess Alexandra. Another turquoise brooch

As PA is very close to her cousin the Queen, she could have received several gifts from her or maybe just bought some nice pieces for herself over time.

Regards,

When Princess Alexandra initially began official royal duties on behalf of the Queen, she wore a number of jewels which have not been seen in later years.

One is an unidentified turquoise brooch. In 1959 for advance publicity for a tour of South America to be undertaken by Princess Marina and Princess Alexandra, Beaton took a series of photographs.

This is the brooch I am referring to in the heading.

Detail of the brooch

Most news outlets did not give details of the brooch, but the Belfast Telegraph did.
