I have been trying to post this on the History of Famous jewels board, but after a dozen tries to register simply give up. It isn't worth the bother.

If someone does have access, please respond to the thread about the Duchess of Sussex's desire to wear an emerald tiara for her wedding. There was a suggestion is might be Grand Duchess Xenia's tiara, but this photograph of the Bolsheviks with the Yussoupov jewels shows the emerald tiara being dismantled (or ready for dismantling). So, the putative tiara is not Xenia's. I hope the attached picture is clear enough.
