Candida, Marchioness of Tweeddale Posted by Janet on July 12, 2020, 8:28 am Attended the legendary Devonshire House ball of 1897 as the Empress Josephine. She is wearing a tiara very similar in style I think to that which Queen Marie of Romania received as a wedding gift from her mother in 1893, maybe a popular style at the time. Behind the tiara seems to be two separate hair accessories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hay,_10th_Marquess_of_Tweeddale

Re: Candida, Marchioness of Tweeddale Posted by Beth on July 13, 2020, 10:34 am, in reply to "Candida, Marchioness of Tweeddale" That is very interesting Janet. I had never thought of the parallels before. I haven't done a systematic search on the Marchioness' jewels so I am not sure what stones might have been in her necklace but, as she was once reported to have worn an emerald "crown" (in 1911), it is possible that the necklace contained emeralds. I have another image of the Marchioness published in 1924 where she is seen wearing the same tiara mounted on a coronet frame, so obviously the jewel was flexible.
