Could it be possible that there was a misunderstanding: Tiara of Switzerland is a company which makes watches, and it is common knowledge that the Queen had a watch from the Swiss Republic?
--Previous Message-- : Interesting, I'd not heard of this before. But : why would the Swiss government give Queen : Elizabeth II a tiara to celebrate the 10 : years of her coronation? It's not a special : anniversary & she wasn't on a state : visit there in 1963. : : --Previous Message-- : Hi, everyone. : : I have been reading this Board for some : time, but have "signed up" to ask : a question. Skipping through the tv : channels yesterday I caught a passing : reference on Gems tv to a tiara I have never : heard of - I hope someone out there will be : able to enlighten me further! : : Gems tv website says, "In 1963, Queen : Elizabeth II was presented with a Tiara in : which the central gem was a natural, : un-faceted Moldavite surrounded by Diamonds : and Pearls; this was presented to her by the : Swiss Government in order to celebrate her : 10th year on the throne." : : Any information? : : Thanks : : :
