Actually, these earrings were worn several times by Queen Elizabeth II, and also by Queen Alexandra. I have no pictures of Queen Mary or Queen(-Mother) Elizabeth wearing them. 1902: King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra's Coronation. The Queen wears Queen Victoria's emerald fringe earrings suspended from Queen Victoria's bow brooches, pinned at the bottom of her dress: 1953, New-Zealand: 1967: Ottawa, Canada: 1972: Edinburgh, Scotland, UK: --Previous Message-- : Wow wow.
