The diamond diadem, of course, goes back to the early 19th century. This is the first time I've known that Queen Alexandra worked on it. What did she have done?
By the way, I think it would have been very expensive to copy the elaborate diamond diadem, which is worn by the current queen on official occasions and is today almost part of the crown jewels. The less grand regal circlet also went to the next queen, but it was a more private piece.
