The remaining 22 items on the list are for jewelry w/a value of less than GBP 100, mostly brooches.
18 of these pieces (est. GBP 1389) were left w/Xenia. The remaining 4 were sold for a total of GBP 141.27.

The prices paid for the jewels of the Tsarina, etc., appear in the Book, The Lost Fortune of the Tsars by William Clarke. Clarke found the original receipts for the jewels from Hennells, which was responsible for the sale - and Queen Mary actually paid fair market values for the different pieces. "Thus, the idea that Queen Mary used her privileged position to acquire at knock-down prices the Romanov jewels her daughter in law, granddaughters and other royals are still seen wearing is not justified by the evidence of the original master list kept by Hennsells." Clarke further states that Sir Frederick Ponsonby's memory had failed him -- Sir Frederick had stated that Empress Marie's jewels had raised L350,000 was incorrect. Clarke also states that the 'settlement' with GDss Olga by the Queen in 1968 that Suzy Menkes quoted in her book on royal jewels never occurred. The USA's very own Marjorie Merriwether Post was in possession of many Romanov pieces including many objets d'arts that she obtained at bargain basement prices while her husband was ambassador to Russia (now there's insider information!). Patricia Phenix's book on Olga gives a pretty detailed accounting. In it there was a list provided by Hennells.
