The Treasure of the Queen of England documentary of Patrick Voillot
Posted by Dave on October 9, 2019, 9:14 pm
I watched with much delight the below documentary and from 1:24 mins David Thomas the crown jeweller at Garrad speaks about the jewels of the British crown. However from 1:33 mins a great Champaign/ light brown diamond on a necklace of colourless diamonds are shown. Could one infer that this jewel is also part of the British royal jewels? Also at 1:46 mins there is another beautiful jewel looking like a necklace/ tiara shown, could this jewel as well be inferred as a jewel of the British royal family as the documentary is focused on the jewels/ treasure of the Queen of England? I am much intrigued about this new documentary and wonder if we could have been exposed to jewels in the royal collection not seen before.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch the entire video as yet, but will as soon as I can. Thanks for posting the link Dave.
I agree with 992234177 that the two jewels Dave mentioned are most likely to be Garrard stock items.
What has interested me most in the first section of the video is seeing how parts of the crown (of Queen Mary or is it QEQM's?) are joined. I never realised that who could handle the crown was governed by an Act of Parliament. There is always something new to learn!
