There is a biography about Fat Mary called The People's Princess by S.W.Jackmann 1984/1996 which I think is a very nice book about her life and time

I join this opinion. Also I miss sometimes a bit politeness here.

I think Queen Mary (she gave most of the pieces) had one piont in her head by doing so. She gave all her children a complete set of jewels with the conection of her family background of the "old royal family". She couldn't know that not only fasion altered in such modern style and that tiaras...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Spodumene is a pyroxene mineral consisting of lithium aluminium inosilicate - LiAl(SiO3)2 - and is a source of lithium. It occurs as colourless to yellowish, purplish or lilac kunzite (see below), yellowish-green or emerald-green hiddenite, prismatic...

But it is quite interesting that Camilla is wearing mainly jewels from the Queen Mother. Despite this tax transfer, why the Queen (ERII) doesn't loan anything to the Princes Royal or Sarah (both are the only granddaughters of the Q.Mum)I haven't seen them wearing those jewels. That the Royal...

Queen Mary and Alix daughters went to Sandringham to "look after" the jewels. QM's part (for her husband, the queen mothers son) she took ALL jewels which where gifts from Edward VII at their wedding or later. THe Russian Kokoshnik was a present to their silver wedding aniversery.

This reports I know, but what I mean was that she might made short notes how should get what...thats the way I would parten my own collection

But Camillas engagement ring was from the queen mother, and i could'nt think of Charles to ask his mother to give this to his new wife.... And Charlie was her favourite....that's known.... But nobody knows it exactly..Cookies will was never published!!!

This one was property of HIM the Dowager Empress Maria and bought by Q Mary in the 1920's after Maries death. Could be worn with a Diamant, Cunzite, Emerald or Sapphire middel part.

No, Diana never wore it. The only tiara she wore from the royal collection was the lovers' knot tiara. The Delhi Durbar tiara would have been too big for her; even with Camilla's big hair it's rather imposing. it's may because the dehli tiara was the property of Q Mary and went after her...

Prince Charles as Prince of Wales and later as King would not only inherit the Jewels from the Queen Mother, but the new Queen will receive ALL Jewels wich were left to the Crown by Queen Victoria (William Brooch, Crown Necklace, Ruby Parure...) So Di would have the choise over a lot of items....

It is right that the Gloucester's Parure belogend to the Teck Family, but Q Mary assembled both to one, and later parted it into two one for the Gloucester and the other for Princess Margret. Queen Mary wished that every "new" family tree of her children (I mean for her sons and daughter)...

My penpal friend from Iran told me that the jewels at the bank of iran in theran are on display in a special vault and there are also other items, like cups, plates, a throne and so on..all set with wounderful gemstones

It is nice to see the Jewels from Queen Mum again. They're really nice. Camilla wear them, as you know that the jewels from the royal collection (indian circlet ruby tiara ...) return to the queen, and parts of the private collection of Queen Mum are inheried by her beloved grandson Prince...
