I know very little about the Londonderry turquoises. Does the family still own them? Are they worn today?
According to various sites the turquoises were purchased by Anne, Marchioness of Londonderry in Austria.
Does anyone have more information?
In 1927 a series of photos were taken of Edith, Marchioness of Londonderry wearing the necklace and earrings. Some were published in the media. According to some press reports, she wore these jewels and dress to an Eve of Parliament Opening reception held at Londonderry House. She also wore them to the State Opening of Parliament that year.
I wonder if she wore the large diamond cross in the same fashion to the Opening of Parliament?
