Thanks again and I appreciate your patience. I take your point about Cullinan VI and it going to the Queen Mary set of jewels made. I can see how you are quite convinced about Queen Alexandra's personal regal circlet . I want more evidence yet. Thanks again Boffer. Nellie --Previous Message-- : Yes, it would have been Queen Alexandra's : circlet that had the Cullinan VI attached, : but we have no pictorial evidence or : documentation to say where it was attached : on the circlet. : : The Cullinan VI was removed from Queen : Alexandra's circlet around 1910, when it was : incorporated into a brooch by Garrards for : Queen Mary. : : From 1910 onwards, Queen Alexandra would : have worn her own circlet, most notably in : the 1913 photographs. : : This circlet, being her private property : with no direct affiliation with the British : Crown or British Civic Bodies, passed to : Queen Maud upon Alexandra's death, when : Alexandra's possessions were divided. : : That is my understanding of the issue. :
