Re: Is there another emerald tiara in the British collection?
Most of the references I have to Queen Alexandra wearing emerald jewels can be identified either as the Indian emerald and pearl necklace which Queen Victoria gave her as a wedding gift or the Cartier collier resille. There are numerous reports (especially when she was Princess of Wales) which refer only to emerald ornaments. These may refer to bracelets and brooches, or they may indicate an emerald necklace which, so far, has not been identified. I find it impossible to determine what was worn when the press reports jewels only as "ornaments"
