The QD alert is used here because discussion could well stray into QD topics. Pics, repeated for each puzzle, are illustrations from Menkes and the two pics of Queen Mary which I used in a thread below. http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1338253778.html
I have always distinguished the Surrey tiara/necklace and the QV wedding gift necklace/tiara - first, by the central spikes - Surrey is topped by the “spear” and QV by the solitaire diamond; second, the wedding gift illustrations in Menkes are not entirely accurate but they do show distinct differences at base level as well.
