Thanks Boffer. The QD also says it is the Cullinan VII on the Durbar necklace. --Previous Message-- : Until Queen Alexandra's death in 1925, the : large marquise cut stone, the Cullinan VI : was in her possession. : : Therefore, between 1910, when Queen Mary was : presented with all the stones, and 1925, : Queen Mary used the Cullinan VII as both the : pendant for the Delhi Durbar Necklace, and : also as a pendant from the Cullinan VIII : brooch. : : When Queen Mary inherited the Cullinan VI : stone from Queen Alexandra in 1925, she used : this larger stone as the pendant from the : Cullinan VIII brooch. And she used the : Cullinan VII as the pendant from the Delhi : Durbar Necklace. : : From 1925, Queen Mary no longer needed to : swap the two marquise stones over whenever : she wore different pieces. This is still how : the stones are used today. : : Queen Mary was also known to wear the : Cullinan III stone as the pendant from the : Delhi Durbar necklace occasionally. : : --Previous Message-- : : : I was using this as my reference - : : : :
