Princess Victoria's estate - jewellery Archived Message

See my RJWMB post 5th February 2018: http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1517814803.html The Scottish press also mentioned "articles of jewellery, as keepsakes, to her sister, Queen Maud of Norway", but I have no examples of such news reports. BTW: Joye on RJWMB mentioned that Victoria's Cartier tiara was a fringe tiara. If so, not unlikely also wearable as a necklace.  Previous Message Princess Victoria's will is sealed so it is unlikely we will ever discover much. I am sceptical of the claim that she left QEQM a diamond fringe necklace. First we don't have any evidence that Princess Victoria ever owned such a jewel, but then we know very little about her jewels. According to the media King George V got the contents of her house, the Duke of Kent got the house and most of the rest of her possessions/fortune was left to Maud Carnegie and King Olaf. She left a considerable estate. Some of the press reports I have seen auction notices in the papers about various items of furniture belonging to Princess Victoria being sold, but I never took any cuttings of those. I never saw any mention of jewels.
