QEII Bracelet Barbados 1989
Posted by Beth on November 19, 2018, 6:15 pm
Has the bracelet which Queen Elizabeth wore to a gala evening in Barbados in March 1989 ever been identified?
Initially I thought it was a watch and that HM had worn her brooch on the right shoulder but then I found a second photo which shows a watch on her left wrist.
Yes, I too think it is her "Bags and Brills" - the Baguettes and Brilliants diamond bracelet given to her by her parents in 1949 - it has a "twist" in the middle which creates the central bulge.
Wonderful post Beth, very fascinating piece from HM's collection. Her collection must be just astronomical meaning you could identify new and never before seen pieces even now into her 60th decade on the throne and well into her nineties. One just has to conceptualize what will be left and then added upon what is already there when her heirs takes up the mantle. Was it noted somewhere when someone gifted HM some special object d art and it was gently declined by her when she stated "We have so much already". Frank or Beth or both, 'could you gather a collage of photos with both bracelets and watches seen.
Regards,
Dave.

I think it is her modern bracelet with baguette diamonds.
