Re: I think the whole purpose of these jewels was to give an impression...
Some of the biggest sapphires of the parure were called "doublets" as blue colored glass was sticked at the back of the sapphire to make it look darker blue. I suppose these were the sapphires that were replaced by Sybil Sassoon. An identical sapphire tiara belongued to princess Augusta of Bavaria, grand-daughter of emperor François-Joseph. Was it the french one or a copy ?
