The Queen Mother was wearing the Pearl and Diamond ring, in place of her original Sapphire and Diamond engagement-ring already by 1937; as she is pictured wearing this ring in the official Coronation Photographs. As can be seen on p.55 of Roberts.
However on p.33 of the same book, the Queen Mother is photographed wearing her sapphire engagement ring in 1958. It thus seems that she was constantly interchanging them, when it suited.
