I too was looking at the Queen's Diamonds last night, and was reading about the Strathmore tiara - according to Roberts the roses are interchangeable with sapphires - does this mean the central diamond in the rose, or the entire rose-head? If the latter, there would be some significantly sized sapphires in the collection. The large brooch the Queen Mother gave to Diana - does anyone know its exact providence - it's often seen as a copy of the Albert sapphire brooch, but I wonder if it was part of this tiara's alternative appearance?
