Wonderful pictures, thanks Nellie. Pss Marina was truly a very elegant lady, she had such a serene beauty and regal presence.
I notest she chose the diamond and pearl festoon tiara to wear at the coronation. A classical motif tiara (now worn by Pss Michael) that I really like. Can someone tell me the origin of this tiara please? I realize it's the only one of the Princess's collection that I know nothing of.
The fringe tiara was a wedding gift from the city of London, the saphire parure was a wedding gift fom Queen Mary, the snake necklace/tiara belonged to her mother Pss Helen, but I have no info on the festoon.
Would appreciate any background information on it. Thanks in advance.
