    Queen Mary. Another turquoise brooch Archived Message

    Posted by Beth on July 2, 2018, 8:05 am

    In a recent post I used the photo below of Queen Mary.



    HM wore the same brooch at her throat in this 1897 photo.



    Detail





    In the press reports of Queen Mary's wedding gifts there are at least 3 turquoise brooches mentioned but, apart from the brooch given to her by Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, there are no sketches.

    This brooch could be one of the others; equally it could be one of the many which Queen Mary received from her family at various times before her marriage.

    Does any one have more information on this brooch?
