The Fabulous Ocean Liner Woman

Thank you, Janavi for reminding me of where my original inspiration for Piling on the Jewels came from.
Of course, Nancy Cunard! I remember seeing this famous photo of her when I was Relatively Young & thinking that was Exactly How I Wanted to Look.
And , you know what? I've been Subconsciously Channelling Nancy Ever Since.
I have always thought that the bangles she's wearing were Elephant Tusk. Is that the same as Ivory? If so,I wonder if she caught the elephants herself?

I believe all the bracelets were lost during the War.

Lost during the War? How awful. Thanks J. I must google this!
