I think that because of there similar size and shape it is possible to mix up Cullinan VI and Cullinan VII in pictures. Also there are no pictures of Queen Mary wearing both of them at the same time. I think that until Queen Alexandra died Queen Mary simply attached Cullinan VII to whatever piece she chose to wear, so it was worn on the "Ladies of India" necklace and as a pendant to the Cullinan VIII brooch. When Queen Alexandra died Queen Mary took Cullinan VI and used that as the pendant to the Cullinan VIII brooch, keeping Cullinan VII as the pendant to the "Ladies of India" necklace.
