That is very interesting Janet. I had never thought of the parallels before.


I haven't done a systematic search on the Marchioness' jewels so I am not sure what stones might have been in her necklace but, as she was once reported to have worn an emerald "crown" (in 1911), it is possible that the necklace contained emeralds.

I have another image of the Marchioness published in 1924 where she is seen wearing the same tiara mounted on a coronet frame, so obviously the jewel was flexible.
