I can't add much to Gillw's description of the exhibition, except to say that I feel so privileged to have attended also! Just a few days ago in fact. To say that I was dumbstruck is putting it mildly. Gill describes the room and route very well! I must mention the snuff box of Frederick the...
I think that's she's got so slim that she will look good in anything. I suppose that we shall just have to wait and see. As for her tiara, she will enter the abbey wearing flowers or just a veil on her head...she will exit wearing a tiara. (I would not be suprised to see her wearing the...
They are indeed lovely. Also the photo of the Queen wearing the Vladimir tiara with the pearls made me wonder when did she last wear them with the emeralds? It seems that she always uses the pearls these days. Anyone know?

I quite agree, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone. "

Tiara question.
I see in this photo, girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. I am suprised because it is shown here with the border of diamonds at the bottom. I always thought that this border, to give added height, was an addition made by QE11. Help please Warren!
Thanks from me too. The Amethysts which QEQM sold are my favourite jewels of all time. I agree that Anna Wintour has no idea how to wear that necklace, and that they would have suited Camilla. It's a shame we don't get to see the whole parure being worn, in full coulour. Wow.
