But here we go again with another misconception! The tiara with the single sapphire (first owned by Queen Mary)has no factual connection with Marie Feodorevna.Its seems to be well documented that the Empress fled Russia without any of her tiaras.. --Previous Message-- : I was hoping the saphire tiara of Maria : Feodorovna would be loaned to the Duchess of : Cambridge. It is a beautifull historic piece : but not too grand for a young woman. : : --Previous Message-- : I think, had there been an additional : substantial sapphire tiara that HMQEII would : not have purchased the necklace that : eventually became her sapphire tiara. I : would love to believe that we're several : sapphire tiaras languishing about, but HM's : thrifty nature makes me feel she would have : worn what she already had at her disposal. : Pity we've not seen that lovely bandeau : since Princess Margaret wore it. It would : have been lovely had Diana paired it with : her sapphire choker. : : --Previous Message-- : Dear all, : : The royal jewels by Suzy Menkes Page 53 : (Edition 1988, section Majestic Mary) : : : "The Empress Marie's superb sapphires - : two tiaras, a brooch and a pearl choker- : were inherited by the Queen. Princess : Michael of Kent has a large diamond brooch, : the Gloucesters a tiara and Princess : Margaret a sapphire" : : have you seen photos of the Empress Maria : wearing sapphire tiaras. We could therefore : find the two sapphire tiaras owned by Queen : Elizabeth II. : : It might be the same sapphire tiaras : mentionned by Leslies Field : : Franck : : : : :
