What an amazing find Beth!
Ever since I wrote my article on the Diamond Jubilee Chain, HERE, a few years ago, I have been intrigued by the versatility of the piece and the possible combinations created from it. It looks like Queen Victoria was wearing the 'smaller' version, though it seems like the four bracelets were created from the additional pieces rather than the main piece because chain eventually sold for £12,480 while the four bracelets sold for £10,080
I was not able to find an image of the chain among my pages of the auction catalogue of Princess Patricia's jewels, but Ursula has a picture on her site.
