Thank you, Waren. What I actually meant, and see I didn't write, was did anyone have a photo of the hair combs that match the necklace, earrings, and brooch? I've not yet seen the combs!

For members who can get this week's Point de Vue (#3080, 1-7 August) there's a fantastic six pages on some of the jewels Princess Elizabeth received on her marriage in 1947.
The highlights: a one-page photo of Queen Mary's massive 3-part stomacher and the Cartier chandelier earrings in glorious colour, another page with the sapphire and diamond necklace presented by George VI, and a page with the Boucheron Mrs Greville diamond and ruby necklace. Granny's Tiara gets just half a page, but the pic is sharp and the diamonds are sparkling. There are other trinkets shown such as the Nizam of Hyderabad necklace, a diamond bracelet, a diamond fringe necklace and yet another diamond fringe tiara... Buy now!

I came across a website with wonderful pictures of HM The Queen and Princess Margaret.
One picture caught my eye because the very beautiful young Queen Elizabeth II was wearing a ruby necklace and matching pair of earings which I don't think I have seen before. |

 Those central rubies in both the necklace and the earrings are amazing.  I wonder where they are now? Anyone for a rummage through the much lauded "Vaults".  Me first though!

Quoting Field: For her 59th birthday in 1926 King George V presented Queen Mary with these earrings - large oval rubies each set in a cluster of nine brilliant-cut diamonds. Later that year, the Queen officially added them to the other pieces of ruby jewellery left to the Crown by Queen Victoria and Edward VII. The earrings were given to Princess Elizabeth by her parents in 1947. The v-shaped diamond and ruby floral bandeau collar ending in a drop diamond pendant is of Victorian workmanship and was bought by George VI and Queen Elizabeth as a wedding gift for Princess Elizabeth.

Thank you so much Warren for the very informative answer.
Please, please Your Majesty...Don't keep hiding these wonderful pieces. We want more sightings! Please lend them more often to HRH the Princess Royal or HRH the Duchess of Cornwall or HRH the Countess of Wessex for our benefit! If you are not interested in wearing them, that is. |

Well, dear people, this thread is more than my frail body and shattered nerves can stand. I am just, please excuse me Warren and She Who Must Be Obeyed, I just cannot help it, I am DROOLING. I will have to go get chocolate ice cream or call the men (shudder, almost as dreaded as SWMBO) with needles drawn to calm my over excited nerves.
1. Queen Mary even in EXCESS is glorious. In the coronation photo I just wish she had left off that top, ridiculous little diamond necklace and the six big ones would have been just perfect. 2. Camilla in the Saudi sapphire goodie is just magnificent. Marvelous. If only they had cut the ruby breastplate down to a somilar size. Maybe a row of nine with five suspenced in a second row and used the remains to constuct a ruby and diamond tiara and earings it would have been perfect. 3. As for Queen Elizabeth's ruby and diamond bandeau necklace I have always loved it along with those earings. I just wish she had the tiara to go with it. But the bandeau necklace alone without a doubt is a masterpiece. |

I've moved the posts discussing the Australian Wattle Brooch to the Broochs thread.

She really likes that tiara! Who could blame her, it's beautiful and very regal. Maybe it's comfortable to wear as well, she seems to use it more and more the older she gets.
What necklace and earrings is she wearing? I don't remember seeing that set before. A gift from the King? |

That is the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara; it was a wedding gift for Queen Mary. When her granddaughter, then Princess Elizabeth (now QEII) became engaged, she gave the tiara to her as a wedding gift. Queen Elizabeth refers to it as "Granny's tiara" and wears it often because it is apparently very lightweight. The necklace/earrings are considered to be a gift from King Abdullah--Queen Elizabeth is very considerate in that when she visits or is visited she wears pieces she has been given in the past by the dignitary. Camilla was wearing a necklace and earrings from King Abdullah as well.

I really prefer Camilla's sapphire necklace to the ruby one. The rubies are one row too many for my taste. I would take the bottom row off and make it a tiara to match.
As far as the girls of GB tiara, not only is it lightweight, but the carat weight is distributed evenly around, which would reduce the chance of it slipping. Some of these tiaras that have a lot of large stones in front tapering down dramatically at the sides and back might not have great balance on the head. |

Hola! Picture
The Queen's rubies: The necklace which I believe someone said before in this thread belonged to Queen Victoria, and the tiara which I am unfamiliar with, and a pair of earrings matching the necklace. I tried to find the tiara on Royal Magazin and looked for info. on Danjel's site. I also looked through this entire thread but didn't see anything about this particular tiara.
