The tiara has also been so altered that it would not support the emeralds very well. I would like to see tiara restored. --Previous Message-- : 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. : : : : :
