--Previous Message-- : I recently obtained the cabinet card below. I : think it is the state opening of Parliament : around c1904-05 based on the fact Alexandra : is wearing her collier resille made for her : in 1904 by Cartier and later modified for : Queen Mary. : : However, its the large brooch that Alexandra : is wearing on her breast that has me : puzzled. it looks very similar to the : cullinan "granny's chips" but that : wasn't created till 1911. Does anyone have : any ideas? : :
The top-part might be the Koh-i-Noor diamond in its brooch-setting. But up to now no idea about the pear-shaped pendant .
Royal Collection says, that picture is from State Opening of Parliament 1902 - an error from RC or was the Collier Résille made earlier? More
