Then also there will be the Kohl
Moor with it's wonderful history, as
well as what may be called the private
jewels of the Queen. The Queen owns
some particularly fine diamonds, but
her rubies and emeralds are not so
beautiful or so valuable as those owned
by many of the peeresses. The pearls
owned by the young Duchess OF MARI
borough, and now known as the Van
derbilt pearls, were ionce the property
OF Marie Antoinette and part OF the
French regalia.
Inc largest row of pearls possessed
by the young Duchess contains some
of the biggest and most beautiful
which have ever been SEEN Their
value it is almost impossible to gauge,
as one OF them alone is said TO have
cost over 100000. and their beauty is
greatly enhanced by an idea or the
Duke, who had placed between each
one Of them a. wheel of white sapphire.
These, too, viii be worn in coronation
week, as we'll as the magnificent dia-
mond tiara with pearl points presented
to the Duchess on. her wedding by the
Duke of Marlborough.
Countess de Grey, who has recently
paid a visit to Paris to have her jew
els reset for the coronation, on special
occasions wears a magnificent all
round tiara the shape of the old royal
crown, and the string of pearls she
has around her throat was valued some
years ago at G25,0 C0 and must now be
worth $4,000 or 10000 more, 80 great
ly has the value of pearls increased.
The Warehouses of Londonderry, who
owns some magnificent gems, has also
had them attended to. Lady London
derry has, it is said, eight different
parures, but she very seldom wears
anything but her diamonds and pearls.
which are of great value and these
she is having reset. The Countess or
Carnarvon, who possesses some mag
nifcent emeralds worth many thou
sands of pounds, has lately received a
good many more from her mother,
which she Is having specially worked
up for the great occasion.
The Countess of Aberdeen has five
wonderful emeralds, said to be the
largest in the world. They were we'd
ding gift from her father, the late
Lord Tweedmouth. and are being set
into her coronation tiara.
Lady Wimborne owns the most SUI
perb rubies in the world, and her coll
lection includes the celebrated Hope
ruby, which was given her by Lord
NlnOOrne anu DGiOnKSQ 10
the Hope family. 1t is very much more
valuable than the celebrated Hope dia-
mond, which is worth 100000, and is
so blue in tint as to be almost like a
sapphire. 1t is now set into sapphire
and diamond butterfly, but is not very
often seen in public. Lady Wimborne's
Jewels also include a beautiful dia-
mond crown and q splendid diamond
chain, which she frequently wears. The
Duchess Of Devonshire's tiara is a very
splendid one. and so Is that which was
the property of the late Duchess OF
Rutland, and may be worn by the
Marchioncss of CRANKY at the corona
ton festivities. The Dowager Countess
0f Wharncliffe has a noted turquois of
large size, which IL engraved with Per-
elan characters. and quite covers the
front OF her dress, She used 10 wear
this ornament IN the front OF her gown
among others OF the same stones, OF
which she possesses a great number.
and Lady Hothneld's turquoises are
probably quite matchless.

iutely unique and priceless on account
