Sadly not. This is almost treated as an aside in the footnotes. On page 84, discussing Queen Alexandra's Wedding Gift Necklace Roberts states that: The Prince of Wales gave Alexandra a "pearl and diamond parure by Garrards ... the parure consisted of a diamond tiara". In the footnotes he simply mentions: " 'A very rich Brilliant Diadem', supplied at a cost of £8,000 (Garrard RL33, fol. 11, 5 December 1862). The tiara was bequeathed by Queen Alexandra to her second daughter, and subsequently disposed of by her. (QAJ c.1920, pl. I, note added by Queen Mary)". This is all the information provided in regards to this tiara. Nearly all the jewellery included in the book is still in the collection of the Queen. Other than some pieces that are specifically mentioned as being given away or broken up. --Previous Message-- : Many thanks for the summary. I can hardly wait : until I get it myself. Since jewelry from : Queen Alexandra to the Princess Victoria is : mentioned in the book, I was curious if any : of the jewelry who went to Queen Maud is : mentioned? :
