Arthur, I am sure your right that these earrings were adapted from Queem Mary's brooch circa 1972. It was a year in which quite a bit which hadn't been seen for some time was given a wearing. The Kent Ameythsts, her City of London fringe necklace, the Versailles brooch. Just to say that the first picture you posted of the Queen with the German President is for Gustav Heinemann's return dinner in London not in Bonn. Another time she wore the earrings with emeralds was for the state banquet for the President of Tanzania in 1975. Unusually they were teamed up with the 1912 Cambridge Emerald necklace. And on the State Visit to Estonia weren't they worn as empty frames. --Previous Message-- : Here are more pictures of these majestic and : beautiful (and unfortunately too rarely : seen) earrings: : : October 1972: State Visit to the German : Federal Republic (return dinner at the : British embassy in Bonn): : : : 1981: State Visit to the UK of the King of : Saudi Arabia: : : : October 1984: State Visit of French : President François Mitterrand (return dinner : at the French embassy): : : : (source for the first picture: Foro : Dinastias - source for the second picture: : Huffington Post) : : 31 May 2001: State Visit to Norway (return : dinner at the British embassy): : : : 18 November 2004: State visit of French : President Jacques Chirac for the centenary : of the "Entente Cordiale": : : : : (credit: PurePeople.com; ImageCollect) : : 7 July 2006: Thistle Service at Edinburgh’s : Saint Giles’ Cathedral: : : (credit: © ImageCollect) : : : : 7 May 2007: State dinner at the White House, : Washington, DC: : : : (Photo by Tim Graham/Getty Images) : : 27 November 2009: Commonwealth Head of : Government Meeting in Port-of-Spain, : Trinitad-and-Tobago: : : : : (credit: Phil Walter/Getty Images AsiaPac, : via Zimbio.com) : : Has anyone pictures of other events during : which these earrings were worn? : : : :
