I beleive that the large sapphire brooch worn by HIH Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna is from her sapphire kokoshnik, which survied intact and was sold to the Roumanian Royal family and passed to Princess Ileana and, ultimately, sold. If that is the case, the sapphire cannot be the one that Queen Mary is wearing. --Previous Message-- : : Thank you Boffer.
