I have published a couple of articles on some Royal Earrings these past few days, and have some questions, through which I would like to learn more from your research and observations!
I know part of it became a sautoir,
but has it been suggested that the Queen Mother’s Sapphire Fringe Earrings, HERE, could have come from the necklace of the Sapphire Demi-Parure she received as a Wedding Gift from Queen Mary? The size of the stones seem to match.
Another article was on Princess Irene of The Netherlands’ Ruby Earrings, HERE, to mark her 80th Birthday, which look antique in design though are of unknown provenance (I've read about some obscure links to Queen Sophie). Were they also given at the same time when Princess Irene controversially received the Dutch Ruby Peacock Parure as a gift from her grandmother, Queen Wilhelmina, on her sister, Princess Beatrix’s, birthday??
We talked about Queen Geraldine’s Ruby Earrings, HERE, a few months ago, HERE , when they reappeared on Crown Princess Elia after more than 80 years. What's odd is that these earrings were described as being among the auction of the Albanian Royal jewels . Were they not sold, or have they been recently reacquired?
