Royal jewels worn by others. Queen Alexandra's amethyst necklace Archived Message Posted by Beth on August 17, 2018, 7:02 am After the death of Princess Maud, Countess of Southesk, some of her most important jewels were sold at auction. One was her amethyst necklace inherited from Queen Alexandra. Unfortunately there do not appear to be any photos of Queen Alexandra wearing this elaborate necklace, although Princess Maud was famously photographed wearing it to the 1937 coronation. Eventually the necklace belonged to Gordon Getty who sold it at auction in 2007 http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2007/magnificent-jewels-n08371/lot.348.html According to Sotheby's the necklace was purchased from Wartski's in 1958. Luckily, his wife, Anne, was photographed wearing the necklace (and with a choker and long pearl necklaces) giving us some idea of how the necklace might have looked when worn to grand court occasions by Queen Alexandra. https://www.azureazure.com/homes/to-suit-ann-getty-853 What other royal jewels have been worn by others?
