Just another quick thought. I presume these long forgotten jewels surfaced in 1972 when the Queen went to find the Nizam's tiara and her Burmese rubies for the big new tiara which debuted in the spring of 1973. --Previous Message-- : : Arthur to answer your various points.... : The Queen wore her City of London fringe : necklace to rather aptly open the new Stock : Exchange in London in November 1972, teamed : with her Russian Fringe tiara. : Your picture with President Nyerere was : taken in Dar es Salaam in 1979 on the first : night of the state visit. : At the moment I can't scan the picture of : the Tanzanian President's first night in : London in 1975. Does someone else have it ? : What would be really interesting is to see a : picture of the first time these adapted : earrings were worn, which I think was in : Paris, handy for you, in May 1972. : On the last night of the State Visit to : France there was a ball at the British : Embassy. I have never seen any pictures but : there are descriptions in the French : newspapers of the Queen's apparel. : From these it is clear that she wore the : Girls of GB&I tiara with the Godman Emerald : necklace, and I would think these new : earrings. President and Mme Pompidou also : attend this ball but no pictures have : surfaced. Perhaps you can find one in France : !! : Lastly these earrings in the diamond form : were worn in 2003 for the state banquet for : US President Bush and I have a strong : feeling I have seen them as empty frames. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you, Merlin, for pointing out the : mistake about the British/German State Visit : in 1972. I have edited my previous post to : correct the erroneous information. : : Did the City of London Fringe Necklace make : an appearance in 1972? The pictures I have : of this necklace date back only either to : the 1950s or to the 2000s/2010s (no picture : for the four decades inbetween). : : Do you have a picture of the Tanzanian State : Visit of 1975? The only picture I have of : Queen Elizabeth II with Tanzanian President : Julius Nyerere shows the Queen with the : Durbar Emerald Necklace and the matching : Cambridge emerald earrings, not the pendant : earrings discussed in this thread. But I : don't know if this picture is from the 1975 : State visit or from another occasion: : : : (credit: : : http://www.juliusnyerere.info/index.php/gallery/category/C1/P72/ : ) : : And yes, the Queen wore these earrings on 19 : October 2006 in Tallinn, for the official : dinner during her State Visit to Estonia. : But the empty frame was for the Vladimir : Tiara, not for the earrings! : : : : : : :
