There are two plausible explanations. First, the jeweller for the Kent jewels made another set to the same design. That was quite common. The second explanation could be that there was a matching tiara that was, ultimately, converted to one of those necklaces while the other passed on through gift or bequest. --Previous Message-- : Thanks so much for sharing this incredible : find, Barbara! : : The motifs seem to be identical: : : : Interestingly, the Wemyss necklace seems to : be missing a diamond.
