Queen Mary's Turquoise Parures
There were two turquoise parures assembled by Queen Mary; one was worn by Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and the other was given to the late Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester.
The current Queen does not own the parures and they will continue to be passed down to subsequent family members or, like Princess Margaret, be sold at an auction.

Famous quotes containing the word queen:
“It is better to pay court to a queen ... than to worship, as we too often do, some unworthy person whose wealth is his sole passport into society. I believe that a habit of respect is good for the human race.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
