Oh you are right. Must add an edit to that. Another link Princess Helena to Ursula's site says the gift was opals and diamonds. I have been thinking that opals and turquoises might be mixed up in reports. This link has the wedding presents listed in English wedding presents --Previous Message-- : Nellie- your second photo in the comparison is : Princess Helena Victoria , known as Thora : and daughter of Princess Christian (Helena). : They do look strikingly similar. Princess : Christian died before the 1937 coronation. : I found some information online earlier : but can't find it again now. It was an : article about Queen Victoria's Jewellery : Inventory- it stated her turquoise tiara, : necklace, bracelet etc was given to Princess : Helena upon her marriage. I've not had : chance to search for any images of QV in : turquoise but don't ever recall seeing : anything previously. : : --Previous Message-- : : : : :
