My guess is that the lozenge-pattern bandeau was always removable. Laurence --Previous Message-- : : I am having grave doubts that Queen Mary's : Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara : [Girls] was originally made with that : loznge-pattern bandeau base. I have doubted : it over the years, actually. : Because it now seems as though one and the : same lozenge-pattern bandeau base was added : to the Surrey tiara/necklace [Surrey], the : QV wedding gift necklace/tiara [QV gift], : and the Girls. : : Page 139 shows the Girls in the photo : inventory with the bandeau base and the : caption says it is in original form. : But I would like to see the design drawing : for the Girls which is mentioned in note 1 : page 136. : The QV wedding gift necklace/tiara shown in : the photo inventory on page 191 with a : bandeau base added does not seem to be in : its original form. : : Do we know when the photo inventory was : started? : : For alterations made to the Girls in 1914, : it says on page 136 - : : "Either at the same date or possibly : later Queen Mary removed the lozenge-pattern : bandeau from the base ... " : : But if it is the same bandeau as added : to the Surrey and to the QV gift, then Queen : Mary had removed the bandeau from the Girls : much earlier than 1914 - or perhaps it was : not even attached before then. : : Queen Mary is wearing the Surrey with the : band in the pic dressed in black in mourning : for Queen Victoria (much earlier than 1914). : See page 194 and below in : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1338140726.html : . : : :
