The use of the diamonds from the Rundell Tiara in Queen Alexandra's Crown and the diamonds subsequent transfer to Queen MAry's Crown is only a guess. There is no evidence to prove that this is what happened. Laurence --Previous Message-- : Very interesting thread you started Nellie. : : After reading all I realized that the 3 : Consort Queens wore different Coronation : Tiaras: : : Queen Alexandra’s Coronation tiara (1902) : with the Rundell tiara’s diamonds : Queen Mary did not like Queen Alexandra’s : Coronation tiara and wore a new Coronation : tiara (1910) she wore again for her Son : Georges VI unexpected Coronation : Queen Elisabeth (Queen MUM) wore a new : Coronation tiara as Queen Mary kept hers : with (Queen Victoria’s diamonds). She wore : this tiara again for her Daughter Elisabeth : II ’s Coronation. : : Please Correct is this is wrong. Thanks : Maria Olivia : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : : :
