Thanks for the opportunity to discuss yet again the diamonds worn by Queen Mary. Nobody succeeded in quite the same way I believe.
That is only the left and right parts of the cockade. The centre is missing and it is probably the Queen Adelaide brooch (we knew as the King William IV) in its place.
The largest drop diamond with one of Queen Victoria's bow brooches would be the Cullinan III (not the Cullinan I which is very close to being as tall as her Garter star).
She is wearing her Garter garter on the arm.
Cullinan IV would be on the band of her crown, without the arches.
I think the Koh-i-nûr is mounted on its front cross.
The second largest drop on another of Queen Victoria's bow brooches is probably the Lahore diamond from the Coronation Necklace (formerly known as Queen Victoria's).
The long diamond necklace is probably the Coronation necklace, with an extender.
No bracelets!! What an oversight!!
