Some news are updated -
Well, we know about the last versions of the sapphires ...the 5 clusters on the frame as tiara, not realy nice...but there is the first part of the history of the famous Sapphire Suite:
Nothing is known about the carats and the whereabouts of the sold items, yet. I miss some clusters in the late time of Duchess Marina of Kent, probably she sold some of the jewels in this time, as well as part of the pendants from the court-necklace, before the her son sold it for tax.
And there are different descriptions of the bridal tiara on the wedding day, probably the bride wore a second for the evening - to honor the presenters "her Mother and Queen Dowager Adelaide probably the giver of the fringe"
