Thanks DavoST, this is great news. Any thoughts anyone on the bracelets worn by the late QEQM and her daughter Princess Margaret the Countess of Snowdon in the pictures provided.

I am sure the bracelet worn by the late QEQM on her left wrist looks like a peice turned into a choker or was it also on her wrist, i cant remember now but it was worn by Diana PoW at a past Opening of Parliament.

I had queried about the peice which looked like a large flower with diamonds featured on Diana PoW and someone replied that they felt it may have been a borrowed piece.

Regards,

Dave.

The order was made by Garrard's in four sizes, and was distributed more widely than his father's.
