MessSince99 on April 29, 2026 12:28 pm The necklace was last seen on Queen Elizabeth II in 1985 and belonged to Queen Victoria’s mother the Duchess of Kent. These are not the same amethysts that belonged to Mary that were later sold by the Queen Mother (allegedly)
MessSince99 on April 29, 2026 12:30 pm I think these are quite ugly but they’re old. Victoria designated these as heirlooms of the crown deeming they should pass from monarch to monarch.

Better for a museum display than for wearing.
I like the alterations. She makes it all work.
