At the SV from Qatar the Queen wore the Vladimir tiara with pearls. Camilla and Anne can't be seen properly, but to me it looks like the honeycomb on Camilla and the "mystery tiara form the Chinese SV" on Ps. Anne. I believe that this mystery tiara is actually the greek key tiara which Queen Mum inherited from Mrs. Greville, but never wore in public.

P.S. After seeing another pictue on the RJOTW board i must correct myself. Ps. Anne is wearing her own greek key tiara.

So if these pearls are a present from Qatar, it makes perfectly sense that HM wore the Vladimir tiara with the pearlsHM wore the six row pearl necklace with matching earrings a gift from the Emir of Qatar on her 1979 visit. source Leslie Field's book page 68. The necklace has diamond plaques holding 2 rows together at uneven intervals. Also worn to West germany in 1986.
