Having recently seen Downton Abbey the movie I wondered people's thoughts on the following.

I found some of the jewellery worn a bit unlikely. However to start on a positive note I thought the copies of the GGB and the Vladimir with Emeralds and the Cambridge emerald brooch were exceptional. In fact I thought both tiara's looked better in the movie on QM than on the Queen.

However I found the jewellery worn by the other ladies very unlikely. None of them were grand tiara's and I honestly can't believe that any of the families in those sorts of occasions wouldn't have rolled out the best.

Mary barely wore one and Edith as the wife of one of the highest ranking peers of the realm I would have thought would have rocked a whopper.

Downton Abbey has actually produced a number of real humdingers and as most of us know from our coverage here a lot of families today still possess the original tiaras from the victorian and edwardian periods.

Even most of the necklaces were a bit mingy. However I wonder if this was done to portray the really impressive sight of everyone's jewellery favourite Queen Mary.
