Thank you, Dmitry, so much. Iīd expected that in the so rich russian imperial vault would have been a ruby tiara, too. I guess good and large stones have been rare at all times.
As far as I see from all the imperial wedding gift ruby tiaras to the grandduchess only the Bolin tiara (at last Hohenlohe-Langenburg, now sold) survived. The greek one could also from russian origin as the Torby tiara.
