On rereading each, I'm inclined to think the writer intended what we read - because of the use of the definite article before the word circlet each time.

: I was searching the Royal Collection using
: “circlet” and am quite confused by the
: descriptions given in some of the miniatures
: of Queen Victoria.
:
: Some say she wears a circlet made by
: Rundells in 1839 and others say a circlet
: made by Garrards in 1858.
:
: But I would have thought all of these
: depicted the Diamond Diadem 1820, which we
: used to know as the George IV or State
: diadem.
:
: Anyone agree?
:
: Plus, if the descriptons are correct then
: there are (were) two very very similar
: circlets, by different makers, of 1839 and
: 1858.
