This is the Cullinan I suspended from the Cullinan II.
Attached to the Cartier collier is the Cullinan VI marquise stone that Edward VII purchased privately for Queen Alexandra.
The Koh-i-nor in its honeysuckle setting is pinned at her waist.
She also wears Queen Victoria's Bracelet, of diamond plaques, featured in Roberts.
--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? : : : : : : : :
