Re-posting Franck's images Posted by Beth on May 30, 2019, 9:22 am Some posters have reported that they are unable to see the images which Franck recently posted in the thread on the brooches of QEQM which haven't been worn since her death. I suspect that there is a temporary glitch as images I have posted can be seen. As we don't know what has caused this glitch and the problem may occur again, I thought it best not to ask Franck to go to the trouble of re-posting. Instead, I am re-posting the images. As, at present, messages with the same subject heading are not keeping together, to re-post the images in the thread is likely to cause more confusion. So, all the images will be below with Franck's subject heading above the images. 1. Emerald and diamond clips 2. Emerald and diamond arrow brooch 3. Emerald and diamond round brooch 4. Crown ruby and diamond brooch 5. Small ruby and diamond brooch worn as Duchess of York 6. Greville bow ruby and diamond brooch 7. A ruby tie pin from Lady Laking 8. A diamond multiple bar brooch worn on a bag 9. A diamond circle brooch with diamond centre worn as Queen 10. The scent bottle and true lovers knot in diamonds from Miss Alice de Rothschild 11. A small diamond horseshoe brooch. Gift from Queen Mary 12. A small diamond arrow brooch worn as Duchess of York

Re: Re-posting Franck's images Posted by LauraM on May 30, 2019, 11:35 am, in reply to "Re-posting Franck's images" Thank you so much Beth for the reposting of the images. I suspect the tie pin was a gift to the Duke not the Duchess.

I dared not comment on the original thread so as not to add to its confusing developments. Many thanks to Beth, Franck, Maridje, for this thread. I'd love to see the Greville Ruby bow and Princess Mary's gift again.

Re: a sapphire and diamond corsage brooch + a sapphire and diamond brooch on her waist Posted by Beth on May 31, 2019, 6:33 am, in reply to "Re: a sapphire and diamond corsage brooch + a sapphire and diamond brooch on her waist " Thank you all. I will keep adding images to the first post in this thread but, unfortunately, it may not be today, as in an hour or two the electricity will be cut off for the day as the electricity company replaces power poles in my street. (Yes, most of my city still has overhead power lines -- a very common feature of Australia!)
