Thnk you again Carlo, Pss Marina's photo with the rubies is new to me! On my post above (in "the Good, the Ugly...) on Queen Sofia's Niarchos rubi necklaces / tiaras I refer to your post here and this picture of Pss Marina you posted. I've also placed a link where there is a picture of Marina wearing the rubies shortly after her wedding in 1968. Did Ps Michael also bought the set of rubies at Van Cleef and Arpels to his wife? Why did he choose a similar set to the one his cousin Pss Sofia had? Intriguing... --Previous Message-- : Princess Marina of Greece, née Marina Karella, : wife of Prince Michael of Greece, wore a : small tiara composed of three buttons : diamonds flowers mounted on a base of : foliage motif of diamonds-pavé and yellow : and white gold, on her wedding day in Athens : in 1965. : : : Her daughter, Princess Alexandra, wore the : the same jewel on her wedding day, 27th June : 1998 on Torcello Island, near Venice. : : : : .....and here is a necklace similar in style : to Queen Sofia's Niarchos rubies......maybe : the greek billionaire made a similar gift : (but with different colour of stones, : sapphires or emeralds) to Sofia's cousin on : her wedding?

The origin of : the tiara, was it royal or a gift from her : husband? Still many questions unclear about : this piece : It is a perfect small tiara for junior : ladies of the family to wear (Pss Tatiana, : Theodora, Pc Philipos future wife).
