You're basically daying the same thing here as I did above: The tiaras worn in 1970 and now are the same, that's why official information about this piece having been broken up to be used for the new aquamarine tiara must be wrong. Unless, a) 'adapted' means that the aquamarines were removed from the new tiara temporarily in order for Sophie to wear the original 1970 one now (unlikely), or b) the 1970 tiara had nine scroll motifs originally, four of them invisible. --Previous Message-- : : : You are right Nelly. : : source the Royal Collection : : A special exhibition for the Summer Opening : of the State Rooms, Buckingham Palace, 2006 : : : http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/dressfortheoccasion/object.asp?exhibs=BPSO2006jewellery&item=2 : : Aquamarine and diamond tiara - Garrards : : : " When first made in 1957, the tiara : consisted of the three upright rectangular : stones (detachable for use as brooches), : mounted on a simple platinum band. : The large central stone was originally the : pendant of the necklace given to The Queen : by the President and People of Brazil in : 1953 as a Coronation present. : : In 1971 the tiara was adapted to take FOUR : SCROLLS ornaments from an aquamarine and : diamond jewel given to The Queen by the : Governor of São Paulo in 1968." : : : : In 1970 july QEII wore a small aquamarine : and diamonds tiare ( but no scrolls ) - : gettyimages - 83494497 : : : : " Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip : leave Yellowknife City Hall in the Northwest : Territories during a royal tour of : Canada." : : It seems that this is the tiara worm by the : Countess of Wessex. : : But the design is not the same scroll : adapted on Brazilian tiare ?
