I strongly suspect that there are more items waiting to grab our attention, but 992234177 is probably spot on in saying that we may have been looking at many items for years without realising they came from Mrs Greville. One of those items is Mrs Greville's pearls. If we could crack that mystery!!

Over the last 15 years or so we have seen Queen Elizabeth II wear a number of jewels which had not been seen for many, many years. For example the enormous Diamond Cockade.



Then, we began to see a series of brooches worn by QEII which we now know came from Queen Mary. For example the two aquamarine brooches and the large turquoise brooch.



I suspect that several things may be at play. One is that QEII, or the Queen Mother, may have worn some of the jewels on occasions not open to the public or photographers. The other factor, which I think is probably of some significance, is a desire to remind the public (or let them know) that these items exist and are not new. In the modern era there is always a section of the public which will query any new jewels or other signs of conspicuous consumption, which can cause a political headache. QEII has reached a state of public esteem where seeing her in "new" jewels did not cause a public outcry about the royals' wealth or their cost to the "public". I suspect that her successor will not be so fortunate, and so displaying these items now may take some of the pressure off her successors in time to come.
