It's not. Most of Anna's jewels went to her daughter Sophie. A few (diamond and saphire) pieces went to her youngest son Hendrik and after his death they ended up with her oldest son. Willem III or his sons did not inherit any jewels directly from Anna Pavlovna. Most of the jewels with a Romanov origin in the Dutch collection came through Anna's sister Catherina Pavlovna. Her youngest daughter Sophie of Württemberg inherited several pieces and brought them with her. After her death some pieces were sold but most ended up with her youngest son Alexander and after his death with his father Willem III and halfsister Wilhelmina. --Previous Message-- : i wonder if this tiara is the same of the : current dutch jewels collection :
