Greville Necklace Tiara
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother used the 5 row necklace when
King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid was in GB on state visit
1951. It is called the Greville collier, the collier consists
of 2 colliers (2-3 rows)
In the new biography of the late Queen, pages
231-33 deal almost excusively with the Greville inheritance.
At her death Mrs Greville left a staggering £1.5 million,
with all jewels except those already bequeathed going to the
Queen.
The jewels remained in their boxes for several years as the
King was unsure of accpeting gifts from subjects. The Queen
finally wore Mrs Greville's tiara for the first time in 1947.
Above in the original version, later, it was altered from
Cartier with several diamonds on the top. According to Munn,
the added height (work by Cartier) used "diamonds given
to Edward VII by de Beers in 1900".
