Hi Sal! I know the side of Huis Dorn and have some problems while loading in the morning. Couldn´t load the pictures or zoom. Now it was quiet better. OT: Obviously the nederlands government ist planing to reduce the subsidy to Huis Doorn to the half. As it seems the house will not be open for public any longer. It´s a pity. --Previous Message-- : The website of Huis Doorn works very well, : also in English. See link. You can also make : a virtual tour. : : : --Previous Message-- : This tiara worn by Hermine, second wife of : the : Ex-Emperor Wilhelm, is not sapphire but - I : quite sure - aquamarine. Indeed there are : some black and white fotographs of Princess : Hermine wearing this piece existing. I´ve : seen them in a book and on the Huis : Doorn-Homepage, which seems to be work not : very well today. I couldn´t find them. But : I´ve see an original portait of Wilhelm and : Hermine at Schloß Burgk in Schleiz : (Germany). : This piece (or parure?) might has been : convertible to tiara or bandeau. : An inheritance by Victoria of Hannover is : very unlikely. : :
