Thank you Tamara. I really love these earrings, a pity they are no longer in the family. The caption says 1850, are they of russian origin? Could they have been a gift to Princess Helena from her russian relatives? I know nothing of their provenance. Thank you for any information --Previous Message-- : Interesting find Ayvee I have a feeling they : were borrowed too...from whom? well, : eventually it will come out : : As far as Princess Marina of Kent earrings, : they were purchased by S.J.
