It is said that both of the elaborate ruby parures worn by the Duchess of Cornwall were gifts from the Saudi royals, so they would not contain any rubies from the demi parure given to Queen Alexandra.
Rubies were, and still are, found in Australia. But whether the stones in the demi parure given to Queen Alexandra were in fact rubies is open to question. It is possible that they were garnets. The following site shows how a then recent discovery of garnets was said to have been a discovery of rubies of high quality. http://www.lasseteria.com/232.htm
Yet, at the time the gift was presented any competent jeweller would have known the difference between rubies and garnets.
