    Queen Mary - fringes and the NZ connection Archived Message

    Ah! I recall that I identified the NZ as Queen Mary’s tiara and the London necklace - but maybe the details provided were right afterall, or almost.
    Link to the jewllery descriptions - link

    I now think the descriptions were swapped. The tiara is her wedding tiara, Queen Mary's, and the necklace could indeed be the Hanoverian fringe.
    The official portrait for NZ was discussed before here

    I will put together some of my pics for comparison.
