Where it is now is unknown:
The fate of Princess Marina's Jewellery is one of the reasons I think the British Royal family should have a Jewel Foundation like the Dutch and the Swedish.
Not only did she have her own Romanov pieces, she had the Cambridge Sapphires, an important piece of craftsmanship that predated Queen Victoria. And I still can't believe the Connaughts were allowed to sell Queen Victoria's Turkish Diamond Necklace.
I suppose we should be grateful that Prince Michael has set up a Trust for the pieces he inherited but when you think about what has been lost over the years it really is a crime.
