Thank you Nellie. As ever you provide us with interesting information.
I would love to have been able to see a painting or photograph of Queen Victoria wearing the Timur ruby necklace.
The first necklace/s which Bury mentions is, I suspect, unlikely to be the necklace which QEQM wore as Bury's account suggests it had 19 large rubies. Even counting the stones in the earrings worn by QEQM there are not 19 rubies.
Do you have or have seen any photos of QV's daughter, Princess Beatrice, wearing a ruby necklace? As she inherited the tiara, she may also have inherited the necklace.
