Query re diamond earrings which were part of the Duke's gifts Archived Message

In her very informative post based on the official wedding list LauraM noted one of the Duke's gifts was -- "•A pearl and diamond sautoir, two rows of pearls at the back and a festoon of three rows at the front joined by two diamond circle and link ornaments. (The Duke of Kent) •A pearl and diamond bracelet en suite and a pair of diamond drop earrings. (The Duke of Kent)" Although there is a photo showing the necklace with what looks like a set of diamond earrings with matching motifs, I wonder if the elements seen in the middle of the image are earrings. Nor would I describe such an item as "drop earrings" I wonder if these earrings, which Princess Marina wore frequently, might not be a better match to the description?
