That's what I had in mind: a formal portrait of the Queen, rather than a "live" appearance during a gala ceremony (wearing a full stomacher in such a circumstance could indeed be over the top for today's jewellery standards... even for the Queen!). I had also thought of the Thistle robes, as the green of the jewels would match perfectly with the green velvet of the robes. But as the Queen has recently (last year) made a portrait with the Thistle robes, I think it will be a few years before she has another one made. And yes, the Delhi Durbar Emerald Necklace would be a better match with the Delhi Durbar Emerald Stomacher (as they were made for the same occasion and are made of the same oval Cambridge cabochon emeralds) than the Greville Emerald necklace (which is probably made of faceted rectangular emeralds). But I would be glad of any opportunity to see the Greville necklace! Am I right that the only emerald tiara the Queen has at her disposal is the Vladimir Tiara (when worn with the Cambridge emerald drops)? (there could also be the Delhi Durbar tiara, if surmounted by the Cambridge emerald drops, but this tiara has been loaned by the Queen to the Duchess of Cornwall). --Previous Message-- : : My suggestion is for someone to commission : another portrait for the Thistle with the : Queen wearing the complete emerald stomacher : - and the Durbar necklaces please. : : :
