: Elisabeth was the granddaughter of two
: Romanov-grandduchesses. Her paternal
: grandmother was Maria Pavlovna and her
: maternal grandmother was Anna Pavlovna.
: Elisabeth may have inherited jewels from her
: mother Sophie of the Netherlands,
: grandduchess-consort of
: Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach. If she did i don't
: know what happened to them after her death.
: Elisabeth of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach had the
: dubious honor of receiving a marriage
: proposal of her maternal uncle King Willem
: III. Once he met Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont he
: regretted the proposal. His sister Sophie
: and her husband Karl-Alexander had decided
: to let Elisabeth decide for herself if she
: wanted to accept. She chose to decline and
: soon afterwards her uncle travelled to Bad
: Arolsen to propose to and be accepted by
: princess Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont. Elisabeth
: herself married a Duke of
: Mecklenburg-Schwerin who became regent for
: his nephew after the death of his brother.
: The duke-regents baby (half-)brother married
: Elisabeth's first cousin Wilhelmina of the
: Netherlands.
: Im not aware of any important jewels
: Wilhelmina inherited from or was given by
: her Weimar-relatives other than the 5 stars
: her mother received as a weddinggift.

: 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.
