Not that unusual. We have not seen a great many jewels either because they were not worn for over a century or at least many decades or because we have no photographic evidence of them being worn. Emma received many jewels in a relatively short period of time but we have hardly any pictures of her wearing them. This latest news that we are looking at a convertible necklace/tiara with originally brown diamonds is indeed surprising. More to come, no doubt!
