: I am curious about the crinoline picture
: (the second in your post). The Queen (as I
: assume she was when this was taken) is
: wearing the Greville tiara, but what
: necklace is Her Majesty wearing? There
: appears to be coloured pendants.
: Is it the turquoise necklace (a bit strange
: together with an all diamond tiara and all
: diamond brooch) or perhaps one of the lesser
: known pieces she received for her wedding?
