I : believe they are now with the Albion : collection in Japan, if I recall correctly. : : Thus, Catherine is well represented : : --Previous Message-- : Not only the Duchess's emerald tiara, but : also, Catherine II of Russia's carved : emerald too. Not sure why they're in : Thailand, as my understanding of the script : used is less than zero.
