Hey everyone, hope you are all still keeping safe and well.
I have decided to write an enormously long and detailed post regarding Fringe Tiaras (I am that
bored) and I am trying to write a clear and concise explanation as to why Princess Marina wore the Vladimir Fringe and not the City of London Fringe to her wedding.
In my research I have come across the story of Molly Fink, the Rani of Pudukotai and this is where I am getting confused.
Grand Duchess Vladimir died in 1921. Some accounts claim that Molly's husband bought her the Vladimir Fringe then she sold it back to the City of London in 1934 for Princess Marina's wedding.
But Princess Marina's sister Elizabeth married Count Carl Theodor of Törring-Jettenbach in Jan 1934 and she wore the Vladimir tiara.
Also Princess Nicolas continued to wear the fringe in her old age.
So, what I'm asking is does anyone have any evidence of:
a. Where Molly Fink's tiara came from?
b. Where the City of London bought Princess Marina's Fringe tiara?
Thanks
Sam
