--Previous Message-- : It is interesting that the necklace was : already shortened in 2009.. As we saw at : Nobel prizes this year. : : In comparison to the picture that shows : necklace , big brooch and small one, I can : easily count that 4 emerald/diamond elements : were removed from the necklace...I hope we : do not see another 4 button tiara LOL
I think the necklace was only shortened by 2 emerald and diamond clusters. If you compare the front and back view of the Crownprincess at the Nobel banquet, there are six clusters on each side of the two bigger elements. The necklace looks shorter when worn by the Crownprincess because the base of her neck is wider than the Queen's.
