Hess Jewels Posted by Dave on December 26, 2019, 8:11 am I found this great site with tones of information 'The Royal Magazine' and became glued to same as I'm off work for the bank holidays. In this link one will see that many fine and beautiful jewels left the British Royal family when members married out into other noble or royal families. https://royal-magazin.de/german/hessen/hesse-sapphires-diamond-alice-halsband-schmuck-royal-jewels.htm Also an interesting tiara below. https://royal-magazin.de/german/hessen/hessen-margaret-topas-tiara-koch-geddes.htm Regards, Dave.

Re: Royal Magazin Posted by Juscha on December 26, 2019, 10:21 am, in reply to "Hess Jewels" Yes, its Ursula magnificant and very very very huge site, since many years a compendium für royal and noble jewels. I advise to prepare yourself with at least a pot of tea and a large plate of christmas cookies as food. It is to be expected that you will not get up again so quickly ... (... I speak from experience)- This is the official access: www.instagram.com/royalmagazin_royaljewels/ Or take this: royal-magazin.de/index.htm And this is the older access: royal-magazin.de/german/ Previous Message I found this great site with tones of information 'The Royal Magazine' and became glued to same as I'm off work for the bank holidays.

Re: Hess Jewels Posted by Beth on December 27, 2019, 7:30 am, in reply to "Hess Jewels" Many thanks Dave. As Juscha said the Royal Magazin site will keep people busy for a long time. I apologise if I interpreted your post incorrectly Dave -- but the sapphire, pearl and diamond demi-parure was never part of the British royal collection. It was a new set chosen by the Prince Consort as a wedding gift to Princess Alice from her brother, Edward VII, then the Prince of Wales. Nor did the tiara worn by Margaret Geddes ever belong to any British royal lady. Margaret Geddes was born in Britain, but was not a British royal.
