Twinning mentions cockade on page 190, says " A cockade originally of 5 separate pieces set with brilliants, was altered for Queen Alexandra to a cloak clasp to consist of three pieces; the center piece, set with a cluster of diamonds, and one side were kept in the original form and the other 3 pieces remounted as one to match the opposite side. Picture on page 186 plate 74a.
