    Dear Beth,

    Princess Marina had 4 diamond collet necklaces!

    Yes, you have raised a very interesting question !

    I don"t understand why at that time Queen Elizabeth the Queen mother had no diamond collet necklace, her first one was offered with the scroll diamond tiara in December 1936.

    She also seems to have worn only 3 differents diamond collet necklaces during her life + the coronation necklace (worn for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II).

    : The only necklace which I have seen any
    : information about is the one given to
    : Princess Marina as a wedding gift by George
    : V.

    : Does anyone have any information about the
    : other 2? I think that Princess Marina was
    : wearing them from the 1930s.

    : One of the things which intrigues me is that
    : in the same period QEQM did not have (or was
    : not wearing) a diamond necklace with stones
    : as large as those in the necklace of
    : Princess Marina - nor did QEQM have several
    : such necklaces.
