On this famous portrait by Cecil Beaton, dated 1939, Queen Elizabeth wears the ruby earrings: She also wore the ruby earrings in March 1939 (two months before the Canadian tour), for the State visit of the French President, Albert Lebrun, to the United Kingdom (the second picture was originally posted by our fellow poster PJ Kiser, I think): I think that Queen Elizabeth wore the Oriental Ruby Circlet in 1938 at the Opera of Paris, during King George VI's State visit to France, but she does not seem to have worn Queen Victoria's ruby necklace, and the picture is too blurry to see which earrings are worn: I do not have earlier (i.e. 1936, 1937 or early 1938) pictures of Queen Elizabeth wearing the ruby tiara, necklace and earrings. Apparently, she made this parure one of her signature parures only after WW2.
