Ah yes. The white face powder years. Glad she moved on from that. I don't think they realized how horrible it photographed. Jewels are outstanding though.

I am sure that black embroidery was quite stylish at the time, but it really does look more like a saloon girl's get up than a suitable dinner gown. Not that the Queen has not done dark embroidery - she just did it better.
And the jewels almost always work with what she is wearing. Not over but equal to her dress. It's a combo of good taste and really good jewelry. Gush.

I agree Queen Elizabeth know exactly how wore every jewel. I just hope all this amazing collection used equally by Camilla and Catherine.

This week's People has a spread of photographs of HM. It 'reveals' that she likes to play in her jewel box, adjusting and repairing her tiaras with a set of tiny tools.
(It's the US edition with Rosemary Kennedy on the cover.)

The kokoshnik Tiara is the one that suits Her Majesty better IMO... It is simple yet elegant and grand at the same time... I have a soft spot for tiaras with simple line and not too much fussy design!

The English jewelery collection is amazing, what colors. And especially the brooches. I had not noticed before Jardine Star brooch just marvelous.
Well my favourite tiara is the Oriental Circlet and i like and the Brumese Ruby.
Maybe i never wore the Brazilian Aquamarine and Modern Sapphire tiara.

This one, and the Aquamarine say a lot about her taste. They are pretty much the only ones completely designed by her. BTW, I like Art Deco, and the Aquamarine set. I am not a fan of the fringes.
