Great post 😊
The Queen of Bavaria was the sister of Princess Charles of Hesse, Victoria’s paternal grandmother. Quite a grand gift from a more distant relative.
With regards to the emerald cross. I think that was given to her daughter Louise, later Queen of Sweden. There are pictures of her wearing crosses with colored stones.
Like the picture on this page for example: https://www.unofficialroyalty.com/wedding-of-king-gustaf-vi-adolf-of-sweden-and-lady-louise-mountbatten/
There is also a picture on Wikipedia, but that cross somehow seems bigger and slightly different.
