In the British royal jewelry collection, a large part was left by Lady Grevil, a friend of Queen Elizabeth.
Margaret Grevil was born in 1863. As the illegitimate daughter of a local brewer, her early experience is confusing. 1885, after her parents officially got married, she finally had a justified social status and identity; 189 1 year, she married Hon. Grevil, the eldest son of the second baron of Grevil. Ronald was a good friend of the then Prince of Wales and later King Edward VII. This relationship enabled Mrs. Grevil to formally enter the royal social circle.
Mrs Grevil's marriage was happy and short. 1908, her husband died young, aged 43, leaving no children. Later, the title of the husband's family was leaked by his brother-in-law, and Mrs. Grevil didn't mix it up at last.
In the subsequent widowed life, Mrs. Grevil was keen to participate in and organize various social activities, and lived a social life in the circle of aristocratic friends. Pohris Denlacy became the main venue for her dinners and parties, and even left a special suite for Edward VII.
As a famous social butterfly in London, she has received members of the royal families of Egypt, Spain and Greece. After the death of Edward VII, she became a close friend of Queen Mary again, probably because she bought jewelry at buy buy as soon as she saw it. Later, she facilitated the marriage between the Duke of York and Miss Elizabeth. 1
In 923, the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth spent their honeymoon in Denglaixi, Pohris, and Mrs. Grevil became lifelong friends with them.
1942, Mrs Grevil died in Dorchester Hotel, London, where she spent the rest of her life.
Her property was left to charities, loyal employees and close friends. Princess Margaret, the daughter of George VI of England, Queen You Jinni of Spain and the grandmother of Camilla, the wife of Duke of Cornwall, all received some inheritance. Her Polesden Lacey was left to the national trust and eventually became a scenic spot open to the public.
Mrs. Grevil's love for jewelry is the same as Queen Mary's, and the love of the rich eventually turned into buying in buy buy. She is a loyal user of Baolong and Cartier, and often redesigns and processes her jewelry. These priceless and beautifully shaped jewels are basically left to the royal family and passed down in the way she hopes. Mrs Grevil's generosity also makes her name forever associated with the British royal family.
As for the number of jewels in Mrs. Grevil's estate list, it is still unknown, including but not limited to these in the picture.
Now let's introduce them one by one.
1. Crown of Grevil, Crown of Grevil.
It was made by 192 1, and the top was rebuilt. It was the favorite of Queen Elizabeth in her later years, and now it has been lent to Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles and Duke of Cornwall.
2. Russian Emerald Crown Grevil Emerald Kokoshnik Headdress
This Russian crown was commissioned by Mrs. Grevil on 19 19. The emerald diamond reached 93.70 carats. At present, the only time she appeared was when Princess You Jinni got married in 20 18 and borrowed it from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. It looks good with her green eyes!
How can the beautiful emerald crown have the heart to let it not even have a paste picture for so many years?
3. Diamond Necklace Grevil Flower Necklace
Cartier produces five rows of platinum and two sets of diamonds, and each row also contains several particularly bright diamonds, which is very local. It is also the favorite of the queen's mother, and now it is also lent to Camilla.

1929 comes from Cartier, with unique shapes, including diamonds, platinum and emeralds, and various cutting methods. It is one of the wedding gifts given to the Queen by parents in 1947.
7. Emerald Necklace Grevil Emerald Necklace
This emerald necklace, which is particularly expensive when it is simple and rude, is an antique collected by Mrs. Grevil. About its earliest owners, some people say that it came from Queen Josephine, the wife of Napoleon I, and some people say that it came from Queen Marie Antoinette, the wife of King Louis XVI.
It is still kept in the closet indefinitely.
8. Emerald Earrings Grevil Emerald Earrings
There are many emeralds in the royal family. This pair of emerald earrings is often used by Queen Elizabeth to match emerald necklaces. On February 20 19, at the annual diplomatic conference, the queen matched it with the Russian Vladimir crown and took out a new jade necklace that she had never seen before. The source is still waiting for the big boss of the internet to dig it out. Maybe this is another letter from Mrs. Grevil?
9. Pearl Earrings Grevil Pearl and Diamond Earrings
Princess Margaret's ordinary earrings were later passed on to her daughter Sarah. Sarah wore these earrings at her wedding, and now they are one of her daily earrings.
10. Pearl rolling pin Grevil scroll brooch
Cartier 1929, which can be used as a brooch or a hat. Pearls can roll on a diamond roller, which is small, lovely and unique in shape.
1 1. Ivy diamond brooch
The first leaf 1930 and the second leaf 1937 are all Cartier's. The queen wears it occasionally.
12. Grevil's bow brooch
Gemstone dragon, produced by 1900, inlaid with rubies and diamonds. It's really exquisite, elegant and huge. I wore it once, and now it is at the bottom of the box.
13. Ruby bow brooch
It is also an old brooch that has been dusty for many years. Queen Elizabeth often wears a dress from 1950s to 1960s, which is on display at 1960. Princess Margaret wears it on 1990. Margaret did not appear on the auction list after her death. Maybe she borrowed it, and now she's still pressing the bottom of the warehouse = _

To sum up, the jewels left by Mrs. Grevil seem to be the dishes of the Queen's mother, and the Queen doesn't wear much. In my opinion, jewelry is lifeless. It is the owner, story, inheritance and experience behind it that endows it with life and aura.
A lot of jewelry has been in the closet for decades, and even a high-definition photo can't be found. It is also excellent to hold an exhibition. I just hope that if I really come to Shenzhen, it won't be as expensive as awakening. ...
Finally, let's mend a tail. I believe it is also a question that many children's shoes want to ask after reading it:
Oh, no. Where can I find such a friend?
Save the child, Gou Fugui, you know.
