Intriguing! I thoroughly enjoyed reading Arthur's deductions. Another of Arthur's great deductions. Thank you Arthur! I think that the bottom pear shaped diamonds in the modern earrings match those in Queen Alexandra's wedding gift but I am less persuaded that what are the top diamond studs in the modern earrings match those in the centre of the gift from the City of London. I think the ones in the modern set are more cushioned shaped, but perhaps my eye is deceiving me. Edit: I think that the image of the wedding gifts is precise as I believe that it is a hand coloured photograph.
