Thanks Boffer. I'm not as confident over it all as you are. I agree that this Ursula page shows the QV gift, but how can we be sure it was not altered by then? http://www.royal-magazin.de/england/queen-mary-turquoise-tiara.htm I've never seen the top edge as matching these bandeau bases. EDIT: it looks shortened from neckace to choker. Oh well. it will be interesting to read other posters on all this. --Previous Message-- : I believe there were only 2 bases. : : One for the Girls Tiara and another for : Queen Victoria's Necklace/Tiara. : : I believe that the lozenge base worn with : the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara : was made for that Tiara. : I believe that the base worn with the Surrey : Tiara, was the base from the Girls of Great : Britain and Ireland Tiara. (Which was/is : easily detachable). : In my view, there is no doubt that this base : was made for the Girls tiara in its original : form, and was occasionally worn with other : tiaras. : This is what I have in my detailed notes on : the Surrey Tiara. : : And that the base worn with Queen Victoria's : Necklace/Tiara was part of the original : gift. Whether or not it was worn on the : wedding day, I cannot be sure. But it was : definitely worn in that image the gift being : worn as a necklace, coupled with the fact : that it was pictured in that state in the : photo inventories, to me indicates that it : is part of the original design. : Although it would be nice to look at QM's : notes to be absolutely sure. :
