Princess Margaret's jewels Posted by Franck on January 3, 2019, 11:00 pm Dear all, I have found this photo of Princess Margaret wearing unknown jewels taken at a ball in London in 1964 (photo from Ebay) Maybe it is the Queen Alexandra’s lalique hair ornament. [img][/img] [img] [/img] Franck

Re: Princess Margaret's jewels Posted by Dave on January 4, 2019, 4:01 am, in reply to "Princess Margaret's jewels " Thanks Frank, until now I thought only the Danish and Swedish royals did hair jewels. Would anyone be able to tell if the embellishments on the dress are real and also the hair piece. I never knew that QA wore hair jewels. And the necklace seems also to be of an outstanding nature. I love the picture, it makes PM look really regal but with a princess like fairy tale kinda look. Regards, Dave.

Re: Princess Margaret's jewels Posted by Beth on January 4, 2019, 7:38 am, in reply to "Re: Princess Margaret's jewels " What an interesting find Franck! I haven't found any description of Princess Margaret's jewels but I suspect that most, if not all, are costume jewels. Below is a description of the ball. The stomacher looks like embroidered details with faux pearls I also feel that the hair ornament was a costume item and also the necklace and earrings

Re: Princess Margaret's jewels Posted by Thomas on January 4, 2019, 8:11 am, in reply to "Princess Margaret's jewels " Thank you Franck for these photos, and Beth for those delightful anecdotes, how very 18th century! I think the jewels are all fake, and though the hair ornament is especially elaborate, I fear it doesn't look quite like a Lalique piece.
