The star elements Archived Message
Posted by Barbara D. on August 28, 2014, 1:28 am, in reply to "Could these be two of the star elements from the necklace?"
--Previous Message-- : As I was hunting on the Royal Collection site, : I noticed that Victoria, Duchess of Kent, : was wearing two stars in her hair in one of : her portraits. : Could these be from the amethyst necklace? : It's wonderful to 'grab' in this treasure chest (aka Royal Collection Trust's website), isn't it? As for the stars - I don't believe that the stars worn by the Duchess of Kent in her hair are from the necklace. The ones in the portrait you provided seem me bigger than the ones in the necklace. Stars as hair ornaments were very popular back in these times (just think of the famous portrait by Winterhalter of Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Sisi) with her stars in the hair). I also believe having seen once a picture from th RC with a few of such hair-ornament stars (while being on the 'hunt' for something else...). Alas I missed to safe the pics and can't find them anymore at the moment... Oh what a thrilling thread
