Nancy Cunard: more likely to don wooden bracelets than gems. Lady Emerald was her mother.

Nancy was a hellcat with 402 ivory bracelets. Her mother was Lady Emerald. Her father-the shipping magnate of The Cunard lines-was probably not her biological father! George Moore was. Passionately anti-fascist, self-described left-wing anarchist, she wrote articles and pamphlets opposing/exposing Franco's government during the The Spanish Civil War. She fell in love with a black piano player, Henry Crowder; due to this relationship was disnherited. "Honey, the love we did have." During The Harlem Renaissance, she published an anthology of work by and about Blacks called Negro. The bracelets: armor/amour. When you're skinny, you need maile protection. Skinny, blonde with ice blue/emerald green eyes, depending on documenter. Blue, green, blue. Emerald?
