It has already been suggested that Sophie's tiara was dusted off at the time tiaras were being found for Kate.
I don't entirely agree with the "forgotten" theory when the collection has been thoroughly catalogued for a few decades now. It is simply a matter of surveying the catalogue to make some choices.
Edit: and I assume the Queen has followed the examples of Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary in keeping a good photographic record of her jewels.
