Thank you, Nellie, for this picture! Very interesting to see the knife-edge on which the diamonds of the bow brooch are mounted. Does anyone know if this brooch has ever been seen again after it was sold at auction? (I do not even ask for the diamond rivières, since diamond rivières look so similar that this particular one would be hardly recognizable) --Previous Message-- : : Some information from an auction : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Indeed, the jewels Lady Patricia Ramsay is : wearing were inherited from her mother, : Princess Margaret-Louise of Prussia, Duchess : of Connaught. : : The Fringe Tiara (convertible into a : necklace) had been a wedding gift from Queen : Victoria to her daughter-in-law the Duchess : of Connaught.
