I remember that we have speculated a lot about the various fringes. One conclusion was that Queen Mary first wore the existing fringe necklace as a tiara (now we know that it originates from Queen Adelaide). From pictures we concluded that the necklace simply didn’t work so well as a tiara. It was very long at the sides, flared outwards, and wasn’t very high in the front. Queen Mary’s newly made fringe tiara simply worked better, being shorter at the sides, higher in the middle and having a more pronounced outline with a slightly ‘pointy’ front. It’s great to have this matter now confirmed! Thanks for your summary, Boffer! I’m astonished that the Teck tiara (I guess it must be the crescent tiara) was loaned to the Duchess of Cornwall. Why on earth hasn’t she worn it then? How dare she to leave a loan from her Majesty unused??? Well, I guess I’m simply angry and disappointed that we haven’t seen it worn by her ;-) SIGH
