Yes, I remember having seen photos of the Duchess wearing the Greek ruby tiara. But that was as you say just a loan. I was more referring to the reports in the newspapers around the wedding of the Duke and Duchess where they state that the Duchess received various ruby jewels, including a diamond and ruby tiara (a necklace that could be converted to a tiara perhaps?) --Previous Message-- : : The ruby tiara worn by Princess Marina was : originally Queen Olga of Greece's ruby and : diamond tiara which was borrowed from her : parents Prince and Princess Nicholas of : Greece who had inherited the parure from : Queen Olga, and therefore never her own : possession. The parure is now back in the : possession of the Queen of Greece. : --Previous Message-- : When reading news reports from the days : around : the wedding of George Duke of Kent and : Princess Marina it is said that rubies were : a favourite gem stone of the Princess. And : consequently the Duke gave her some ruby : items as part of his wedding gift to his : bride. It is even said that it included a : tiara with rubies. Have the Duchess ever : been seen wearing such a tiara? What about : other ruby jewels? : : --Previous Message-- : When Princess Alexandra of Kent visited : Burma : in 1961, the President, Ne Win, presented : her with a suite of ruby jewels. : : : : She was photographed wearing some of the : jewels. I wonder if she ever wore them : again? Or even had them incorporated into : new jewels? Rubies are not something I can : recollect HRH wearing. : : : : A slightly closer view. : : : : : : : :
