The Queen wore what is now called the Coronation necklace, being Queen Victoria's with the Lahore.
--Previous Message-- : The Koh-i-nor diamond was still in Queen : Elizabeth's crown when it lay on her coffin. : No one seems to have worn the Koh-i-nor in : its brooch setting for a very long time. I : don't think it has ever been removed from : the QEQM crown. Also, your pictures clearly : show the difference in size between Cullinan : 4 in Queen Mary's crown (or its crystal : copy) and the Turkish diamond in Queen : Elizabeth's. : : Question: Did Queen Elizabeth wear the : Lahore diamond from her crown as a necklace : pendant at the 1953 coronation, following : Queen Mary's habit of wearing Cullinan 3 as : a pendant when she wore her crown's circlet? : Or did QEII wear the Lahore?? :
