Congratulations Kongetro and Benny for spotting two significant items!
Has Crown Princess Victoria worn the bracelet previously?
Apologies The Royal Watcher but I cannot make the link you gave work.
I am going to play Devil's Advocate here and ask a few questions.
Has anyone ever seen a photo showing the rear of the jewel worn as a necklace?
I ask this because I recollected what Mauriz said in the discussion in February this year.
For that discussion see https://mb.boardhost.com/historyroyaljewels/thread/1613384755.html
Then, as I looked at the sketch showing the bracelet or extender to the necklace, I realised that the ruby centre piece in the sketch had 9 diamonds in the diamond surround of the ruby.
The bracelet worn by Crown Princess Victoria has more diamonds.
Secondly, the bracelet worn by Crown Princess Victoria appears to have a cabochon ruby centre; yet, the tiara appears to have cut rubies.
Wedding gift to Margaret of Connaught from Edward and Alexandra.
