--Previous Message-- : I think The Royal Collection is wrong : Cullinan VII and VIII are this brooch : Cullinan VI is suspended from the emerald : necklace along side a sispended emerald. : : --Previous Message-- : : The Cullinan VI and VIII brooch : : Probably Garrards : : The marquise pendant of 11.5 carats, : Cullinan VI, purchased by King Edward VII : from Asschers, was set by Queen Alexandra on : her regal circlet. It is now suspended from : Cullinan VIII, an emerald-cut stone of 6.8 : carats given to Queen Mary in 1910 by the : South African Government. Like the Cullinan : V brooch, Cullinan VIII was also designed to : be used in the Delhi Durbar stomacher.
