Lovely pictures, I always loved the one with the three sisters, they wore all so distinguished.
In the first photo who is the lady wearing a tiara just behind Pss Marina?
Further back I seem to recognize Cynthia Countess Spencer, the grand-mother of Pss Diana, wearing the bigger Spencer tiara.

: Without question Marina was one of the most
: elegant and regal ladies of her generation.
: Also her sisters. She had in her possession
: some remarkable pieces of jewelry, that she
: wore very gracefully:
:
: - the saphire parure (wedding gift from her
: mother-in-law Queen Mary. It was the only
: complete parure she gave to a
: daughter-in-law. But Marina was the only of
: her daughters-in-law who was born a royal
: princess.)
:
: - the fringe diamond tiara (wedding gift
: from the city of London. Unlike other
: fringes it is rigid and cannot be worn as
: necklace.)
:
: - the diamond and pearl snake set (I believe
: also a wedding gift, from her mother)
:
: - the big bow brooch (a gift from Nicholas
: II to Gdss Helen)
:
: - the big diamond chandeleer earrings
:
: - the festoon diamond and pearl tiara
:
: - pearls from Gdss Vladimir
:
: - an array of several beautiful rubi and
: saphire pieces (brooches, earrings), some
: now worn by Pss Michael
:
: ... just some of the pieces I remember this
: stunning lady wear. Thank you for this
: remembrance.
