Alix's anniversary gift

April 8, 1888

By far "the most valuable Silver Wedding present" that the Prince and Princess of Wales received is a "superb necklace of rubies and diamonds," a gift from the Emperor and Empress of Russia. The necklace is "composed of carefully selected stones, and several of the rubies are of remarkable size," reports the London Truth.
