From my perspective, it seems an unusual coincidence for this bracelet of small sapphires to appear shortly after she stopped wearing the sapphire sautior in public. Especially when she didn’t have many “good” jewels at this point and she brought this one out for two sets of portraits plus the Harewood wedding. I don’t think a bracelet like this one was on the Cartier list of jewels bought or created for the BRF*. So that leaves another jeweler. Maybe Camilla will wear it more again and the Palace will give more information. I live to dream!
*As Princess Margaret’s diamond Cartier rose brooch wasn’t on that list and there was no real information about it in the auction catalog other than it was 1938 Cartier London, I’ve always thought it was a Greville piece. She had it by the Coronation, so maybe a birthday present from her parents?
