    Thank you for the beautiful pictures!
    I don't think that the ruby clips fit the bandeau, they seem larger than the others (but it's difficult to tell). I also don't think they could be added to the bandeau because whe've never seen the duchess wearing it with rubies, and she's generally very creative with her jewels. I think that if this was possible she would have done it already.

    : This double clip brooch has also been worn.
    : It has the same overall shape of the other
    : clips, but the diamond motifs near the wider
