In November last year in reference to jewels said to have belonged to Marie Antoinette, I mentioned that Mrs Claude Leigh, an American living in London in the 1930s, was said to own a ruby necklace with rubies belonging to the tragic Queen.
At the time I didn't get around to posting about Mrs Claude Leigh's jewels.
I don't have any positive proof but I think that the following photos show the "famous" rubies.
Mrs Claude Leigh was photographed wearing this necklace frequently. I think it is probably the ruby necklace.
It seems to me that each of the elements with a diamond border contains several "small" rubies.
Whether this necklace (and also the one on her forehead) also has rubies is unclear to me.
Similarly, I don't know what stones were in the elaborate earrings.
Although I suspect that the bracelets may have contained ruby beads.

Does any one know anything more about these stylish jewels?
