I agree that CP Margaret's scarab necklace is yet another piece - like the Six Button Tiara - which is difficult to wear but was pulled off by Princess Lilian very well. Here’s a look at Princess Lilian’s personally owned aquamarines - her large pear-shaped aquamarine pendant attached to her favourite pearl and diamond choker, and a large aquamarine ring worn worn with a modern set of rectangular aquamarines for her 90th birthday portrait: --Previous Message-- : Thank you for this lovely picture Boris.

Pure elegance. It takes a truly : "Grand Dame" to be able to wear it : so elegantly. I do hope seing it worn : sometime soon... : And Pss Lilian was by far the royal lady who : best wore the (dificult) six buttons tiara. : She looked splendid with it. : : : : --Previous Message-- : Below, Princess Lilian can be seen wearing : several pieces of jewelry which were all her : personal property: CP Margaret of : Connaught’s laurel leaf tiara (which : according to her memoirs, Princess Lilian : intended to leave to CP Victoria indeed) and : CP Margaret’s scarab necklace, as well as : her own diamond chandelier earrings and : favourite diamond and pearl drop bow brooch. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : On the neighbour board (Glittering Royal : Events) Marianne has kindly post some links : dedicated to the death of the much loved Pss : Lillian. : One of the links is to Sophia's blog that : has a wonderful tribute of her life.
