Biographies from 1947 don't give that detail either. It was only through reading one book that it led me to the Marion Crawford 'square diamond' info.<br /><br />Oh well! If you do find out what the cut is, please let me know! :)Marilyn Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698214356771586102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-28797929186648841142012-04-22T20:10:59.392-04:002012-04-22T20:10:59.392-04:00Thank you so much.

I realize it was Philip's mothers from a tiara, but surely someone has the history. Again, thank you for the speedy reply.Mimi's Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356033853230288184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-35104175250486980462012-04-22T16:55:24.607-04:002012-04-22T16:55:24.607-04:00Hi Mimi,

In the pictures it doesn't look particularly square to me but she was able to see it closer than we ever will!Marilyn Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698214356771586102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-6393728904931530502012-04-22T13:50:47.390-04:002012-04-22T13:50:47.390-04:00I can't find what the cut HM's diamond is....I can't find what the cut HM's diamond is. I've searched every site, but none seem to mention the cut. It has a diamond shaped table which isn't the old rose, old mine, or European. Do you know what cut it is. It's just a gorgeous cut!Mimi's Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356033853230288184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-57604232795807050582008-10-27T08:44:00.000-04:002008-10-27T08:44:00.000-04:00Thanks very much Frances!Thanks very much Frances!Marilyn Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698214356771586102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-76281139222367609632008-10-26T22:39:00.000-04:002008-10-26T22:39:00.000-04:00How interesting this article!

I would have to say that I like Diana's ring the best, although it looks a bit too big to wear around the house - it's certainly noticable! :o)Marilyn Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698214356771586102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-1132337888250125342005-11-18T13:18:00.000-05:002005-11-18T13:18:00.000-05:00Oops sorry, that's Sarah's ruby, of course ::sigh:...Oops sorry, that's Sarah's ruby, of course ::sigh::Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-1132337832439917352005-11-18T13:17:00.000-05:002005-11-18T13:17:00.000-05:00Excellent article, Marilyn!
