While searching for the results of a Pollock I found accidental between some upcoming tiaras (ups, how can this happen
?) the portrait of Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry. It is made 1831 by Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet and shows her dressed for Wincester Abbey in all her glory. Her courtrobe is embroidered with gold and silver, the velvet trimmed with ermine and lace. Bejewelled with tiara, earrings, brooches, ropes of pearls and diamond, belt and a kind of bejewelled apron she mixed gold, silver, pearls, diamonds, amethysts (I guess), emeralds, turquoise and others I cannot identify.

If she used the londonderry amethysts the setting might be chance since than.
