While we wait for the Royal Collection staff to respond to Dmitry's query, I thought it might help if we collect all known images of Queen Victoria wearing rubies.
From the Royal Collection

Is this meant to be the Queen's ruby tiara?

3. I suspect there is considerable artistic licence in the portrait below

4. Of course the necklace and earrings in this coloured image should be emeralds

I have included it to show how images can be misleading.
5. If Queen Victoria is wearing her ruby hair piece, then this may be one of the ruby necklaces, but I suspect the jewellery depicted in the sketch below never existed. I am skeptical because the crown on HM's head never existed; nor did HM have her small diamond crown at that time.

6. Fanciful?

Has any one got more images?
