History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Hair Ornaments

Dear Beth,

I thank you so much for this kind photos !

I do love this hair ornaments !

Please note that QEQM as Duchess of York and Queen Elizabeth also had decorative hair clips in the shape of flowers.

I do not understand why the Duchess of Cambridge does not wear decorative hair ornaments...

After she became Queen, QEQM continued her earlier practice of wearing brooches as hair ornaments.

For an evening at the theatre in December 1938 she was photographed wearing at least one of her diamond clips in her hair.

In July 1937 the press had reported that HM wore 2 diamond stars in her hair.

Then in July 1938 Life Magazine carried a photo of HM wearing 2 small jewels in her hair; however, the photo is too indistinct for me to decide if these are the stars or perhaps her diamond clips. Overall, I am inclined to think that these are too small to be the diamond clips and so might be the elusive stars. What do others think?
