If I recall correctly, the first time it was worn by the Queen after she inherited it from her mother, was at the opening of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006. So Her Majesty acknowledged its links to Australia! --Previous Message-- : Thankyou for all that very interesting : information Beth, especially the part about : the opals, which seems to show, the Queen : Mother anyway, was really not interested in : opals. I read somewhere that Queen Alexandra : just stored all the opals from the Crown : Ruby parure, as they belonged to the Crown : so I expect there are some nice opals : somewhere in the vault! Also thanks for all : the great pictures Arthur. :
