    Dear all,

    From QD it is written page 178 " The diamonds are from the tiara presented by the Director of the Be Beers in 1901 and several small ornaments furnished by her Majesty".

    Obvisouly, without any information we don't know which are the small ornaments" However, it think that one of them could be the small diamond band tiara (page 163). Indeed the central diamond of this small tiara seems to be the central diamond of the Delhi Durbar Tiara when the cullignan is not used.
