Collier Resille Necklace discussion Queen Alexandra of Uk Posted by Dave on March 20, 2022, 10:41 am I came across the below link and it entailed a discussion on the reportedly Cartier created necklace for Queen Alexandra. I would have seen reports that this was only a make up of a reported necklace in the possession of Queen Alexandra but it was not the one indicated in the link. Can anyone confirm or add the portrait by Flaemeng it is reported depicted Queen Alexandra of the 🇬🇧 in this particular necklace? https://forum.alexanderpalace.org/index.php?topic=4098.345 Regards, Dave.

Re: Collier Resille Necklace discussion Queen Alexandra of Uk Posted by Beth on March 20, 2022, 2:15 pm, in reply to "Collier Resille Necklace discussion Queen Alexandra of Uk" I apologise that I haven't had time to read all the discussion Dave. What I know is -- It is said that Cartier made two resille necklaces for Queen Alexandra, but I suspect that there was only one. Most people seem to think that the one depicted in Francois Flemming's painting is the one later worn by Queen Mary. Painting Queen Alexandra wearing the resille necklace to the wedding of the Duchess of Fife in 1913. There is also this painting which may also show the same necklace but with ruby and emerald drops. This is said to be the necklace with the emeralds and the ruby drops. It has been floating around on the net for years. Apologies that I don't have time to track down the source.
