Queen Alexandra. Velvet and diamond choker/s. One or two? Posted by Beth on September 11, 2019, 3:38 pm I think that the photos below show the same velvet and diamond choker, but in one it looks as if the motif has been set vertically instead of horizontally. Are my eyes deceiving me because of the poor quality of the photos? Are there 2 very similar chokers or just the one? I also have in the back of my mind that this choker was inherited by Queen Maud. Or am I imagining that? Trooping the Colour, 1913 Detail Streatham Hospital, 1917 Detail

It looks like two different chokers to me, especially in the Getty Images.
