The 1942 Greville bequest to QEQM also included a pair of Cartier diamond chandelier earrings. I have never heard any reports of QEQM wearing them, but she gave them to QEII as part of her 1947 wedding gift.

There could be more. I would expect Dame Maggie to have had a pair of diamond studs. Perhaps we will find out one day.
Hard to fathom that this pair of earrings would be the only all diamond ones in such a legendary collection of jewels. I hope the other parts of this collection are soon exposed so we can delve into them.

Dave.
