Dehli Durbar Emerald Stomacher

Queen Mary of Teck

At one point, the big stomacher was dismantled into other pieces:

- The current Cullinan V brooch

- The Cullinan VIII brooch saw the addition of the Cullinan VI drop

- The cabochon emerald stone surrounded by a diamond scroll frame has been turned into a brooch with the emerald drop of the stomacher

What happened to the upper part?

Did they keep the top part intact to be used as a brooch/stomacher and removed the lower remaining emeralds to be turned into sth else or used as an addition to other existing pieces? Had the little diamond wings and chains the same fate?

''Queen Mary of Teck Consort Crown''

For her coronation, Camilla chose Queen Mary's crown, but avoided the Koh-i-Nor Diamond controversy by replacing it with the heart shaped brooch with Cullinan V, a favourite of the late Queen.

Cullinan III and IV are mounted on the tip and on the base of the crown.

THE CULLINANS

Found in Sir Thomas Cullinan's mine (South Africa) in 1905, the Cullinan Diamond, also called the Star of Africa, is the biggest rough diamond ever discovered.

In 1907, the diamond was sold to the Transvaal Governor who gifted it to King Edward VII for his 66th birthday.

The diamond was divided into 9 pieces:

1. Cullinan I, now in St. Edward's sceptre

2. Cullinan II, now in the Imperial State Crown placed under the Black Prince's Ruby

Both are part of the British Crown Jewels.

The following are privately owned by the Monarch:

3. Cullinan III

4. Cullinan IV

combined together into the below brooch:

5. Cullinan V, heart shaped brooch that formed part of the Cambridge emerald stomacher

Queen Camilla decided to pay an omage to her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, by mounting this brooch into the Consort Crown

6. Cullinan VI 8. Cullinan VIII

7. Cullinan VII, added as a drop to the Cambridge Emerald Necklace

9. Cullinan IX, mounted on a ring

past couple of days.

well, i'm home today because i'm sick. i should be at school because i have rehearsal afterwards, but i'm going to rehearsal anyway, regardless of the fact that i'm technically not allowed. the worst part is though that i have to speak in a really high pitched voice due to the fact that i'm eleven in the show, and my voice is going and i'm having issues getting that high pitch. tea for me for the rest of the week :/

anyway, i've had rehearsal for hours on end for the past couple of days. yesterday though was weird. i found out that i'm actually getting a mic for the show and mr. cullinan is the sound guy. well, throughout the entire run he was talking to me, and it was so weird. i mean, i'm really the only one that was friends with his son that is still in high school. i know he has no idea what went on between evan and i. it was just so different and nice to have it feel like it was theatre last year. last year was so much more fun because of the people, but mr. cullinan, regardless of the fact that his son has graduated, still helps out with the sound for all of the shows. i miss their family a lot. mrs. cullinan, every time i see her, gives me hugs, and i'm pretty much the only kid he still knows, so he's always talking to me. great family. they are so oblivious to me and evan's situation though. i mean, i guess we might be becoming friends, or at least acquaintances, again, so that's good. i don't know,    just being around the family makes me feel very nostalgic. evan's coming to the show saturday, and sheridan's coming to the show sometime during the run, so i'm terrified. it's scary. i'm scared, and i really don't know why.

two days ago lemberg offered me the position of stage manager next year. i wouldn't be acting, but i would be in charge of everything backstage. i would have to make sure everyone knew lines, where they were going, what props go on and off stage and when, etc. it would be a huge responsibility. i'm thinking of taking it, but i don't know how i'll feel giving up acting my senior year. i think it would be an amazing opportunity to be stage manager, but i still can't seem to give up my dream of being in every high school performance the school puts on. i don't know, pretty much my options are: be selfish and act in the shows and the stage manager might suck, or give up acting for the good of the shows and have the stage manager be good. if the stage manager sucks then all the shows will suck. i won't have fun if the shows suck, so i'm leaning towards stage manager very heavily, but i'm still having issues giving up acting for two or three shows. i mean, that doesn't seem like a lot in the scheme of thirteen shows throughout my high school career, but it's still difficult. i mean, he did offer me the position, and that makes me feel honored, but i'm still having issues giving up acting... i don't know what to do...
