ROYAL JEWELLERY
While the Queen was taking her
summer holiday, her pearl necklaces wore sent to be restrung. This is done annually and by a little old man who has had the work for years. The ■ pearls are guarded by detectives, and great secrecy is observed when the necklaces leave the Pa lac. Another routine job is cleaning the many valuable stone bracelets belonging to the Queen. Sometimes these are reset, to make them fashionable, and often they are pierced with a tiny hook, and can be rearranged by a clever adaptation on a skeleton fastening. Of late the Queen has taken an interest in the collection of necklaces of uncommon design. These she keeps tn a corner cupboard in one of the sitting-rooms at Buckingham Palace, on shelves covered with black velvet, which show them off admirably.
