    I'm not sure we have ever identified all these brooches.
    It has been suggested that Alexandra is wearing two sashes that cross over but I'm not sure.
    On her head is Queen Victoria's small crown and Alexandra's personal regal circlet, we believe.

    Edit: The date has to be wrong and should be 1913.

    : I came across this picture - unknown to me

    : large pearl pendant suspended from the back

    : holding her sash in place. I know the
    : horizontal "bar" on the small of
    : her back is part of her dress, it's the
    : roundish piece in the middle that has me

    : dress as well, but the way it overlaps the

    : Any help would be appreciated.
