(02:26) styles the maker of these earrings is thought to have been in France in the 1770s they are made up of pendants on either side of an old mine cut diamond Halo surrounding an attachable pear-shaped diamond pendant about 8.8 centimeters in length and set in silver the earrings are extremely long The Duchess of Kent once considered these earrings to be her favorites and she frequently wore them in portraits while accessorizing them with her Diamond bow brooch another magnificent piece from her collection princess Marina received the earrings as
(03:05) a present from her mother princess Helen of Greece the earrings may have formally belonged to Grand Duchess Vladimir who was renowned for her exquisite jewelry collection however this has not been confirmed this pair was sold at Christie's after Marina passed away in part to cover the inheritance tax foreign the tiara with a scroll pattern of pearls and diamonds composed of 15 connected Diamond circles with a pearl in the center of each decoration from the bride's parents prince and princess Nicholas of Greece wearable as
(03:53) a bando or necklace when Grand Duchess Helen married Prince Nicholas of Greece it was first given to her the Bando which came in necklace and earring sets was regrettably one of the gems that the Kents had to sell to cover inheritance tax foreign [Music] in the early 1900s even though it comes in a Cartier case there are no records at the company to support the connection also unknown is how the Tiara came to be part of the Kent collection but it is most likely that the Duke of Kent bought it for his wife princess Marina
(04:44) the pal and Diamond Tiara is designed as a row of paltop diamond Pinnacle spaced in a graded pattern the Tiara's original height was a little shorter but princess Michael later added a string of cultured pearls to the base to make it taller The Tiara quickly became princess Marina's favorite along with her city of London Tiara this was her most often donned piece when posing for official portrait photographs Marina's daughter princess Alexandra of Kent donned The Tiara from time to time before her marriage
