The Queen has more than one option in her collection for earrings composed of one large, single diamond each. I find that they can be hard to distinguish when in use, so we will group them together here.
Queen Victoria's Diamond Stud Earrings

These two large, perfectly matched diamonds were set as stud earrings by Queen Victoria, according to Leslie Field in
The Queen's Jewels. The earrings are today worn by the Queen after passing down from queen to queen after Victoria.
Queen Mary's Diamond Collet Earrings

Queen Mary, who tended to avoid long, dangly earrings, used two of the round diamond collets from the
Coronation Necklace to create a pair of earrings, according to Hugh Roberts in
The Queen's Diamonds. These may be the pair shown above, though again it is impossible to say for sure.
This being a simple design, it is always possible that more examples exist.
