Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I am inquiring about QEII's bracelet seen in the last photo in a May 2018 Jordan turquoise gift post by Maridje and linked below. i previously had thought it was the Queen's 18th birthday Cartier sapphire & diamond bracelet gift from her father, but it now appears to me that the sapphires in the birthday bracelet are set closer to each other, and are a brighter blue.

Hi! In the last photo provided the stones in the bracelet look to have a purple hue to them. This can either be due to the camera quality or they are probably tanzinites! Tanzanite stones are often found in Tanzania, which leads me to think that the bracelet could've been a gift from the country during a visit!
Also, I believe the necklace is also tanzanite alongside the turquoise stones!
