Arthur, at the Stock Exchange in 1972 the Queen wore her normal Queen Alexandra Russian Fringe. I think I have a picture somewhere ! Does that third night in Paris in 1972 mean anything to you ? I will give the empty frames some more thought, at the back of my mind I'm thinking a Royal Variety Performance. --Previous Message-- : " 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): : : : : : :
