HM was presented with her "best diamonds", as she has referred to them, in 1947 by the people of South Africa......but i'm not sure she wore them before her wedding.....they certainly aren't the most important in size or grandeur, but they are quite nice to see....but as Nellie says, many of the larger and more familiar jewels we associate with HM were given as wedding gifts. --Previous Message-- : : Others would have different ideas about this : of course, but I think the Princess did not : wear any important jewellery until her : marriage. : She had some pearls and sweet brooches but : that's about all, as I recall. : : On marriage she started to wear tiaras, and : had some important jewels as gifts. : : Of course she did not wear any state : jewellery until becoming Queen, but I think : she was slow to wear really grand jewels : until a degree of maturity set in. : : : : --Previous Message-- : i would love to know more about the timeline : of her jellery : : what tiaras and neckleces broches of : importance did she were as princess : elizabeth : what were the first important jewllery she : were as queen before her coronation and then : after : : : : :
