History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Queen Mother wearing Greville Jewels in 1938 in Paris

Fantastic with a even better photo. I do wonder why she was wearing these jewels and not her own... Such a mystery

A few months ago we looked at some material found by Franck & Thomas which showed that Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was wearing Greville jewels for the banquet & concert at the Quai D'Orsay in Paris in 1938.

Sample of earlier photos

An Instagram user, @greekroyal.jewels kindly sent me another, sharper photo which clearly shows that HM was wearing the Greville tiara & the Greville Festoon necklace. Many thanks!!

It is a fantastic find, adding proof to what we all thought.

Many thanks & congratulations to @greekroyal.jewels, Franck & Thomas.
