Aus dem Juwelen-Album der Großfürstin Xenia Alexandrowna .... Anlässlich ihrer Hochzeit mit Großfürst Alexander am
6. August 1894 erhielt sie "From Papa and Mama on the wedding"
beschriftet, ein Saphircabochon-Diamanten Diadem und Collier, dessen
diamantbesetzte Ranken enden in sehr grossen runden Diamanten bzw Blütenköpfe
mit Saphiren aus gefass (warscheinlich auch eine passende Brosche aber
davon sind keine Abbildungen vorhanden). Die Arbeit kann leider keinem
Juwelier zugeschrieben werden, wurde jedoch erst am 25. April 1895 überreicht
.....zwar zur Hochzeit geschenkt, aber erst später fertiggestellt. "From Sandro on the wedding" Ihrem Mann Sandro erhielt sie, oben links eine kleiner Perlenprosche mit einer hängenden Tropfenperle, sowie einen herrlichen Brustschmuck oder Devant de Corsage in Form von verschlungen Knoten und Perlenquasten üppig besetzt mit Rubinen, das die Grossfürstin später ihrer Tochter Irina (ebenfalls) anläßlich ihrer Hochzeit weiterschenkte.
