Circlet and Queen Victoria

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.
