The Duchess of Cornwall's ruby and diamond bracelet Posted by Franck on March 21, 2020, 9:26 pm I had never seen before that the Duchess of Cornwall wearing a ruby and diamond bracelet with the Saudi Ruby necklace. Just to share : Franck

Re: The Duchess of Cornwall's ruby and diamond bracelet Posted by Dave on March 21, 2020, 10:46 pm, in reply to "The Duchess of Cornwall's ruby and diamond bracelet " Thanks for the ID Frank. Something just stood out however more than ever. Surely the ruby and diamond necklace bib is convertible to a tiara by the looks of it. I wonder if had the DoCorn debuted this necklace as a tiara in the first instance it may not have attracted all of the at times negative press reports of same being a Saudi gift as tiaras are not hardly offered as official gifts, but then it's really not known if this particular jewel may have been offered in a private capacity and not an official one. Could someone state or clarify categorically if a royal happens to be on an official tour if they are inhibited from say receiving a private gift? And when foreign royals visit the UK and present gifts are those gifts considered official as the host would be just receiving or rather hosting a foreign royal? I am sure I read somewhere that if a royal receives a gift and has an affinity to it HM could allow that royal to keep the item personally providing that they pay taxes and insurance on the said piece. Anyways, I would like to see the said ruby and diamond necklace worn as a tiara Kokoshnic style. Regards, Dave.

The rubies given their size must be worth a fortune. Mike Previous Message Thanks for the ID Frank. Something just stood out however more than ever.

What interests me about the bracelet is that I doubt if it is a match for the bib necklace. So the question is -- what might be the provenance of the bracelet? I don't recollect seeing it worn by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Nor do I think that QEQM was given such a bracelet as a wedding gift. What fun we could have trying to track down its provenance! But, perhaps it could be part of the ruby suite. What do others think?
