Franck was spot on. A large number of QEII's bracelets were not covered in the video
I hope that others will add to this list, as I don't know all of QEII's bracelets, and I know that some posters have expertise on certain bracelets and better photos than I have.
1. The black and white pearl. Nothing appears to be known about its provenance.
2. A diamond bracelet with a large emerald. I think it originally belonged to Queen Victoria, who left it to the crown. It was also worn by Queen Mary.
It is hard to see the large emerald as it slips under the arm.
Queen Mary also wore this bracelet.
3. Queen Mary's emerald bangle. I don't think we have seen QEII wear this
4. Bracelet with a large sapphire. I think this was worn by Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary. Does any one know?
5. Queen Mary's City of London diamond and pearl choker worn as a bracelet. But Franck's recent find suggests this jewel may now belong to Princess Anne.
6. Leslie Field (page 137) identifies the one below as belonging to Princess Marie Louise. I am not 100% convinced.
7 Queen Alexandra's emerald bracelet, a wedding gift from the ladies of South Wales.
It was worn by QEQM.
There are also a number of significant bracelets which were worn by QEQM. I will try to do a post on them tomorrow.
