Queen Alexandra received a necklace with cabochon sapphires, that could be removed and were even worn in a Tiara, from her brother-in-law, the Tsar, as a gift for her Silver Wedding in 1888! They ended up with Lady Maud Duff-Carnegie, Countess of Southesk, and were auctioned in 1946!

Ursula has a lovely article on them!
