I have never followed through with another line of research (the Hope family jewels) which I started some years ago (I let myself get distracted by other things which come up!!)
The connection between the Talbot family and the Doria Pamphilij family is intriguing, it all being mixed with the religion of the various families over time.
The Princess Emily Doria Pamphilj mentioned by Mauriz was the daughter of Henrietta Adela Hope (daughter of Thomas Hope) later Duchess of Newcastle.
Emily's husband, Prince Philip Doria Pamphilj, was the son of Lady Mary Talbot.
Because of fortune controlled by Henrietta Hope, I suspect that she would have ensured her daughter, Lady Emily, was endowed with impressive jewels, but I have never followed that line of research.
Apologies for not replying immediately -- I am constantly listening to the latest reports on an outbreak of the Delta strain of the virus in my city.
