    Thank you Barbara. I recall we have discussed this.

    Roberts makes no mention of it but does say the tiara was also to be worn as a necklace.
    When it was photographed as a necklace, for what I believe was Queen Alexandra's illustrated inventory, it contained 77 bars and 16 of the smallest have since been removed.
    What a stunning necklace that would have been!

    : A long time ago, we discussed the little
    : 'pin', Queen Alexandra seems to wear at the
    : base of her fringe tiara. While searching

    : 'stumbled' over these two pictures of Queen
    : Alexandra. For me it seems like HM wore the
    : little bracelet attached to the base of the
    : fringe tiara. So no pin, but a bracelet.
