"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" Wow! That must have been a very glittering affair! Do you have pictures of this event? Which "Russian fringe tiara" was it? Do you mean Queen Alexandra's Peeresses Kokoshnik? Or Queen Mary's Fringe Tiara (which the Queen has worn, as far as I know, only in 1947 on her wedding day, in 2009 in Trinity-and-Tobago and in 2012 for an official Diamond Jubilee portrait for New-Zealand - Roberts also indicates that this tiara remained with Queen-Mother Elizabeth until her death, and that Queen Elizabeth II inherited it only in 2002). "Your picture with President Nyerere was taken in Dar es Salaam in 1979 on the first night of the state visit" Thanks! "these earrings in the diamond form were worn in 2003 for the state banquet for US President Bush" You are right! "I have a strong feeling I have seen them as empty frames" I am not sure about the pendant earrings we are discussing in this thread being worn only with the empty frame, with the central diamond/emerald removed. Maybe you are making a confusion with the 'Vasa earrings' in the Swedish collection, which look very similar to the pendant earrings we are discussing in this thread, and that Crown Princess Victoria has worn at least once with only the empty diamond frames (15 April 2008, State Visit of the Grand-Duke of Luxembourg to Sweden): The original version of the earrings, with large diamond briolettes suspended from the frame: You might also make a confusion with the Duchess of Gloucester's pearl and diamond earrings, which the Queen has occasionally worn without their pear-shaped pearls (for instance for Russian President Vladimir Putin's State visit in 2003):
