I thought Queen Mary's had a single stone in the middle of the clusters. Could these have belonged to the Queen Mother?could they be queen marys at all diamond cluster earings
I think you are right, they do seem to belong to the parure that Queen Vicioria had made, originaly set with opals.
As you may be aware, Queen Alexandra had the opals replaced with rubies (she considered them unlucky).
I love them too, good for Q Alex for replacing the opals, I think they're unlucky too!OK, I'm pretty sure I have died and gone to earring heaven.......I love these so much I could rip them right out of HM ears......(just kidding) right?
Those are the ruby earrings the Queen Mother used to wear, aren't they?
It's a bit hard to tell from the picture, and unfortunately we are unlikely to get better ones.

They look the same to me, although it's really hard to tell. The picture of the Queen Mother is, unfortunately, of very poor quality, so I've zoomed it as much as possible; the diamond around the ruby also appear to be a single row.I think they're different pairs. If you look at both sets of earrings you'll see that the ones HM is wearing has a single border of diamonds around the ruby, while the QM's has a thicker diamond setting encircling the ruby. And the rubies in the QM's earrings look a bit smaller than the ones HM has.
