As a princess, Elizabeth owned the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiaras and I think the love knot tiara. She also had the halo tiara, but she never wore it. When she became Queen, of course, she had the Vladimir, Queen Alexandra's fringe, and eventually the sapphire and ruby and aquamarine tiaras. I suppose as Queen she felt more need for a ruby tiara than for the Nizam diamond tiara. It's also true that the Nizam necklace was more important to her before she received Queen Victoria's jubilee necklace and the various Saudi gift necklaces. But I also continue to think the Nizam gift may have come to seem a bit inappropriate given the Nizam's troubles.
