Mary, Duchess of Roxburghe. Wedding gifts from her mother-in-law Posted by Beth on July 3, 2019, 8:15 pm When Lady Mary Crewe-Milnes married the 9th Duke of Roxburghe in 1935 she received a suite of pearl and diamond jewels from her mother-in-law, the American heiress, Mary Goelet who married the 8th Duke of Roxburghe. These gifts consisted of a suite of diamond and pearl jewels. There was a necklace, brooch and earrings with black and white pearls and 2 pearl bracelets. These jewels, which were auctioned by Sotheby's on 12 May 2015, match the description of the wedding gifts. Sotheby's catalogue where the images and information comes from http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/2014/magnificent-jewels-noble-jewels-ge1502.html Lot 496 Lot 494 Lot 495 Lot 487 Description of the wedding gifts from Mary Goelet, Duchess of Roxburghe These jewels were worn frequently (in various combinations) by Mary, Duchess of Roxburghe.

Wedding gifts from her mother-in-law" Some great research here Beth. Which newspaper did you find the descriptions? It always seems to be hard to find things like this.

Wedding gifts from her mother-in-law" I know what you mean Kat Max! Sometimes finding information is so, so frustrating! I have sent you an email. For others who are interested, both cuttings come from UK press reports. What frustrates me about electronic searching is that one day I will find some thing and then on the next day the same report will not show up!!!!
