Dmitry, I was wondering if you could thrill us with any real-life accounts told to you, of the weight of the nuptial crown, diamond mantle clasp, mantle and all the other ornaments a grand duchess had to wear on their weddings? Was the mantle crimson, violet, or gold? --Previous Message-- : I believe that the jewels were supplied by : Joseff of Hollywood. I cannot swear to it, : but I seem to recall that being the case. : : : : --Previous Message-- : Regarding Romanov jewels: I was watching a : bit of "Ninotchka" the other day, : and we had Greta Garbo drunkenly try on the : "Romanov" jewels she was trying to : sell. The jewels sparkled in ways I have : usually only seen in Pathé video of the : British royals wearing their very real, : well-documented jewels. : : I mean blinding. : : Does anyone know if these jewels were indeed : real? I know they wouldn't have been actual : Romanov jewels, but real stones? : : (Cecil B. DeMille used real stones in his : movies with Gloria Swanson, while other : movie-makers did not necessarily.) : : :
