--Previous Message-- : : Dmitry - that is great information. Thank : you so very much. : : Am I right in thinking these jewels : travelled with Tsarina Marie Feodorovna to : the Crimea and then to England? : : Edit: ....... and then with her to Denmark ? : : I'm just trying to be sure I keep proper : notes of this. : : : --Previous Message-- : the list I have is rather sketchy in terms : of : descriptions, but very good in terms of : weights and numbers of stones. : : I can identify that HIM held onto the triple : strand of pearls with the horseshoe diamond : clasps, the large sapphire necklace with the : 110ct centre cabuchon, one of the pair of : four-row bracelets in diamonds, diadem of : Indian Brilliants (returned to HIM's Cabinet : January 23, 1914, a diadem of pearls, and I : beleive at least one of the strands of : pearls from the Treasury. My apologies that : I cannot be more precise than that. : : --Previous Message-- : I am trying to locate the jewellery from the : Imperial collection which was in the : possession of the Dowager Empress. I cannot : remember for the life of me if this necklace : and/or tiara were at the Anichkov at the : time the inventory was made. It was not part : of the jewellery with which HIM left Russia. : I know that there were some considerable : amounts of jewellery from the Treasury in : her possession at the time of the : Revolution. Once I find that list, I will : know a little better. It is here : somewhere.... : : : :
