No, AFAIK the Cambridge Lovers Knot diadem wasn't included in the exhibition. The items on display were (according to the little book "Diamonds, a Jubilee Celebration" by Caroline de Guitaut, published by Royal Collection Trust):
Queen Victoria's Small Diamond Crown The Coronation Necklace The Coronation Earrings Queen Victoria's Fringe Brooch Queen Alexandra's Kokoshnik Tiara Queen Alexandra's Coronation Fan Queen Mary's Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara ('Granny's tiara') The Delhi Durbar Tiara Jaipur Sword and Scabbard Table Snuff Box of Frederick de Great of Prussia The Cullinan Diamonds III / IV / V / VI / VIII / IX The Delhi Durbar Necklace and Cullinan VII Pendant The Greville Peardrop Earrrings The Greville Chandelier Earrings The Queen's South Africa Necklace and Bracelets ('my best diamonds') The Queen's Williamson Diamond Brooch George IV's Diamond-hilted Sword The Diamond Diadem (aka George IV's Diadem)
The little book is quite lovely with many pictures of the jewels on display as well as the jewels worn. And it can be purchased at a reasonable price at "The Book Depository". BD has free delivery worldwide.
