I did : wonder though if the emeralds in the grand : tiara worn much later on by Princess Cecilie : , when Grand Duchess of Hesse by Rhine, : could be the same stones. But I think it : unlikely that Ducky would have left these : emeralds in Darmstadt for Ernie to re-use : for his 2nd wife & daughter-in-law. : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you, J.F.!
