On Nov. 27th in London the Important Jewels Auction of Christie´s will take place. I found some pieces connected with princely and royal houses. No major pieces but interesting enough to take a look at the catalogue: page 15, Lot 4: a ruby and diamond bangle together with a small ruby-diamond-pearl bandeau/bracelet, in a case with a handwritten notice. (own translation: to dear Mimi to her wedding on 4th of January 1942 from her loyal grandmama Adelgunde. This jewels was presented to me 1916 by her grandfather Wilhelm;...)
Page 59, Lot 114: a emerald necklace, stones are reported to be part of the jewels of Anna Pavlovna, Queen of the Netherlands
as
Page 146, Lot 132: a diamond tiara. Both lots might be inherited by Sophie, Duchess of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach, and now to be sold by descendants, maybe Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach- or Reuss-Family.
From a royal house: page 144, Lot 308: a diamond tiara of fleur de lys-design
