Sarah, Duchess of York Posted by OmerH on December 12, 2018, 10:20 pm Does anyone know what tiara Sarah is wearing in this portrait?

Re: Sarah, Duchess of York Posted by Beth on December 13, 2018, 5:48 am, in reply to "Sarah, Duchess of York" What an interesting find OmerH! I wonder if the Duchess borrowed it, either from a friend or a jeweller?

Re: Sarah, Duchess of York Posted by Dave on December 13, 2018, 3:08 pm, in reply to "Sarah, Duchess of York" Hmmmm, I always wondered if the York's ever had an official wedding gift list of gifts received for their wedding. If one looks at the high profile invitees that were in attendance at their wedding, one could assume that the York's did have some kind of haul of baubles. I however gather that the DoY as did the late PoW did not wear many of what was gifted at their weddings. QM gifted well all of her daughters in laws, and the DoG was handsomely taken care of as did the wife of the DoKent. I do also believe the new DoS has also gotten some kind of significant haul of baubles as well, its just we wont see them for a while yet and she will follow whatever protocol there is not to dawn these pieces so early. The DoCorn is well booted in the jewellery stakes, yet she circulates the same pieces so regularly one would think she is lacking, but same has been proven in the opposite with the public show casing of the two grand ruby and diamond parures and others. But it wont surprise me if the head piece of the DoY does not belong to the her and that she does have some other nice pieces stored somewhere. I think it may have been Beth who highlighted the theft of the Queen's gift to the DoY while she was traveling to the U.S and the price tag for same was really expensive. Look at the number of tiara options now with HM and yet the PoW or DoK seemingly never took advantage of these long forgotten pieces such as the wedding headgear of the DoS. So I do not know all of the protocols but they are options which the PoW or DoK never took and that kind of portrays some kind of difference or respect not to ask for certain things or wear certain things gifted until a long time has passed.

Re: Sarah, Duchess of York Posted by Dave on December 14, 2018, 11:57 pm, in reply to "Re: Sarah, Duchess of York" Sorry about the misleading info Marc, it was a typing error. You know at times I swear the computer does its own thing. But it was the DoY who was gifted an expensive necklace and I believe other pieces and they were stolen when the DoY was traveling to the U.S and her lady in waiting had to resign as it was her who was responsible for the mishap. So my apologies again. Please see link below for pictures and the story on the theft of the gift the Queen made to the DoY. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/style/903831/sarah-ferguson-prince-andrew-jewellery-engagement-ring-wedding-tiara Regards, Dave.

Re: Sarah, Duchess of York Posted by MarcA on December 14, 2018, 1:41 pm, in reply to "Sarah, Duchess of York" Hi OmerH - this has always been a bit of an intriguing point for me. We all know about the jewels that Diana, PoW got from the Queen for her wedding as well as from the QEQM. Sophie, Countess of Wessex, received the tiara from the Queen and a set of clips from QEQM. However Sarah seemed to have never received anything with any family connection from the royals. I've always thought is strange or perhaps that jewels were received/given but never publicly worn or acknowledged. However I think in this case Sarah, DoY maybe wearing lent or borrowed pieces or perhaps even giving a jeweller or dealer advertising.
