Queen Sirikit's Ruby Set
Posted by Al13 on November 24, 2020, 1:37 am
Hi all, there is some speculation that Noble Consort Sineenat might be wearing Queen Sirkit's ruby set. It has been previously worn by Princess Soamsawali (the current King's first wife). I would like to hear your opinions if it's a match.
Thank you Al13! I feel very confident that the necklace and earrings worn by Queen Sirikit and the Noble Consort are the same.
Presumably, these jewels were considered the property of the now King (then Crown Prince) and not his first wife.
As we get to see more of the jewels worn by Queen Sirikit now being worn by the current Queen, I have wondered if the jewels are considered somewhat in the nature of property of the monarch, who can dispose of them as he wishes. I suspect that only time will tell.
Thailand is an interesting royal family (jewelry wise and even outside of the realm of royal fashion). As I've said, the nearest thing they probably have to Crown Jewels for the use of a Queen are the belts. The jewelry of Queen Sirikit seem to be personal property of hers. Queen Suthida has never been photographed wearing a tiara, although her predecessors Soamsawali and Srirasmi have donned them on occasion. And they were not Queens.
The King's previous wife, Srirasmi, was picture wearing many beautiful jewels over her tenure. She has subsequently fallen out of favor and is rumored to be under house arrest. I wouldn't be surprised if her jewelry reverted to her then-husband.
Time will only tell what Queen Suthida and Consort Nui will wear. It's an extremely unique situation. Queen Suthida seems to prefer pearls while Consort Nui seems to like gemstones. Thailand has been continuing with royal appearances despite the pandemic, so there's always more opportunity to see the jewelry.
I suspect that whatever the King wants he gets. I don’t think any other rule applies. The Queen Mother isn’t in any position due to her health to disagree with his current wishes.

And it was often reported that the King was the favourite child of Queen Sirikit who often supported him.
Agree same parure. The Thai royals have some magnificent pieces. Thankyou for sharing.
