    I think its no coincidence that Angela Kelly started her role as chief dresser to the Queen in 2002.
    Since that time we have seen many pieces of jewellery that had not been seen for many of the previous years.

    : I pointed out on this board a couple of weeks
    : ago that oddly the Hyderabad necklace, much
    : worn from 1948 to 1956, seems to have been
    : dropped from use after it's appearance in
    : Stockholm in June 1956.
    : Can anyone find evidence of the Queen
    : wearing it in the nearly 50 year period from
    : 1956 till the Foreign Sovereigns Dinner at
    : Windsor in 2002 ?
    : Since then it has also been worn for the
    : Commonwealth Dinner in Uganda, and in the
    : same year 2007 for the famous Annie
    : Leibovitz photoshot, with and without the
    : Girls of GB&I tiara.

    : Ever since Her Majesty and the Duchess of
    : Cambridge decided to throw all royal jewel
    : watchers into a frenzy earlier this week, I
    : have wondered about the recent history of

    :
    : When was the last time HM wore it in public
    : before the Government Banquet held in Quebec
    : in October 2002?
    :
    : It seems to me that it had not been seen in
    : quite a long time before that but, since
    : then, has featured semi-regularly in the
    : necklace rotation.
