    I think the book of Kelly's implied a selection is produced for the Queen to choose from.
    We saw a lined tray, dating from the time of Queen Mary, holding the selection.

    : 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
    : the necklace?
    :
    : 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.
