Indeed. We had discussed these earrings a few months ago, and we had concluded they are different from Queen Mary's Cluster Earrings. On Baxter's picture, we can see that the outer frame of the earrings is made of baguette-cut diamonds and that there is a small gap between this outer frame and the central cluster - which is not the case on Queen Mary's Cluster Earrings. The Queen looked great, and she has chosen (at last! ) another tiara than the Girls of Great-Britain and Ireland Tiara (which was seen so often in the tiara-events attended by the Queen in the past years). But I think that there is too much white in her appearance: white hair, white dress, white jewels... Alyen was right to describe her as the Snowy Queen! She did not even have an order sash to add some colour! This is quite a pity, because colours suit Elizabeth II very well (as proved by her brightly-coloured day outfits). She should opt more frequently for coloured evening dresses, and/or for coloured jewels! As illustrated below, colour really suit HM:
