Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance Certain enhancements, such as heating, are commonly used to improve colour or transparency in rubies and sapphires. Emeralds are also frequently treated, usually with oils or resin, for the same purpose. Other methods, including staining, dyeing, coating or irradiation, may have been used on other gemstones including Jade and associated hardstone that may have been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treatments
The international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods
Heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, however, in some cases; this may have an impact on the durability of the gemstone Gemstones that have been oiled may require re-oiling after a number of years in order to retain their optimum appearance
It is, in suitable cases, Dore & Rees’s policy to obtain gemmological reports from internationally recognised gemmological laboratories describing certain gemstones sold by Dore & Rees. In the event that Dore & Rees have been given, or have obtained, reports for any lot in the sale these reports will be mentioned in the catalogue description. However, it is not feasible for Dore & Rees to obtain a gemmological report for each gemstone offered for sale by Dore & Rees. If no report is published in the catalogue prospective buyers should assume that the gemstones may have been enhanced by some method However, please note that there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees or types of treatment for any particular gemstone Prospective buyers should be aware that Dore & Rees’s pre-sale estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments
ALL DIMENSIONS, WEIGHTS ARE APPROXIMATE

Geoffrey Munn OBE, MVOPROPERT Y OF THE DESCENDANTS OF CAPTAIN THE HONOUR ABLE PATRICK GEORGE
EDWARD CAVENDISH ACHESON MVO, DSO, RN, 1883-1957
Member, Royal Victorian Order (M.V.O.) in 1904
Distinguished Service Order (D.S.O.) 1915
Order of St. Stanislas of Russia 2nd Class with Swords
Croix de Guerre
Commanding officer of the British Naval Flotilla on the Rhine 1919-1921
Son of Archibald Brabazon Sparrow Acheson, 4th Earl of Gosford and Lady Louisa Augusta
Beatrice Montagu
Louisa was the daughter of 7th Duke of Manchester and Louise von Alten Luise was known as the ‘Double Duchess’, as she subsequently married 8th Duke of Devonshire and it was understood within the family that Louisa was actually the daughter of Devonshire hence the long-lasting connection with the Devonshires and Chatsworth.
Patrick’s three sisters were the subject of John Singer Sargent’s 1902 painting of ‘The Acheson Sisters’ currently in the Devonshire Collection and on display at Chatsworth
Career
In 1902, upon graduation from the Dartmouth Royal Naval College, Britannia, Patrick was commissioned as a Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy Promoted to Lieutenant in 1904 he was posted to HM Yacht Victoria and Albert In the same year he was created MVO 5th class for his services to the Royal Family (a typical recognition for officers serving aboard the yacht) At one point he served as Flag Lieutenant to Admiral Sir John Fisher. As Lieutenant-Commander, he was posted aboard HMS Inflexible in November 1912. As a result of the First Balkan War and the general build -up of tensions across Europe British naval forces in the Mediterranean were shifted at this time, with a Battle Cruiser Squadron including HMS Inflexible remaining at Malta while most other ships were withdrawn to Gibraltar and home waters. Upon the outbreak of hostilities in August, 1914 Patrick remained aboard Inflexible and would be party to many of the major naval engagements of the war Starting with the pursuit of the German cruisers SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau, to duties in the North Sea in support of air raids on the coast of Germany, the Battle of the Falkland Islands, on to the Dardanelles (awarded a DSO), and back to the North Sea in time for the engagement at Jutland Patrick’s eye-witness account is held by the Imperial War Museum
Near the war’s end, Patrick was given command of a newly established Rhine Patrol Flotilla based in Cologne as part of the occupation of the Rhineland. Taking a flotilla of nearly 80’ motor launches (ML’s) across the Channel, up the Seine through Paris, on the Marne to the Marne Rhine Canal, to Strasbourg and then north along the Rhine to Cologne Patrick established the Royal Navy’s presence as part of the larger British Army of Occupation
During this period Patrick was entertaining visiting dignitaries including Field Marshall Haig, Churchill, French General Mangin and HRH The Duke of Connaught.
Patrick served on the Royal Yacht HMY Victoria and Albert and would have been present during the Russian Imperial Visit to Cowes, 1909 which included Emperor Nicholas II of Russia (Nikolai II Alexandrovich Romanov) and the Grand Duchess Olga the eldest daughter of Nicholas and Alexandra The mother of Nicholas, The Dowager Empress Maria, and her grand -daughter Olga are to be seen in several photos taken aboard the Royal Yacht Also, there are photos of Princess Victoria and Princess Maud (later Queen of Norway), the daughters of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra Patrick was known to be particularly close to Princess Victoria who corresponded with him personally
Alexandra (Princess of Wales and subsequently Queen, being the wife of Edward VII) was Sponsor (godmother) to Patrick Acheson and his sisters.
Various family members were in Queen Alexandra’s household 4th Earl of Gosford (Patrick’s father) was Vice Chamberlain to her household 1901-22 Louisa, Countess of Gosford (4th Earl’s wife and Patrick’s mother) was Lady of the Bedchamber. Alice Stanley Countess of Derby (Patrick’s aunt) was Extra Lady of the Bedchamber and her daughter, Lady Victoria, was one of the Women of the Bedchamber. Alice and Louisa were daughters of the ‘Double Duchess’ (wife of first the Duke of Manchester, and subsequently wife of the Duke of Devonshire).
Patrick attended numerous shooting parties at Chatsworth, Bolton Abbey and Sandringham in the company of both Edward VII and George V and he spent much of his early life and every childhood Christmas at Chatsworth
Late in the 1890s, while staying at Chatsworth, Prince Albert (later Edward VII) is said to have sent a mince-pie over to young Patrick’s table, commending it specifically to him. As Patrick set upon the pie with relish, he quickly discovered that it was filled with mustard! Stories of other practical jokes played on him by King Edward VII have been passed down the family
Patrick’s parents were very much part of the Marlborough House set led by the Prince and Princess of Wales, later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra Queen Alexandra remained friends with Louisa Gosford after the death of her husband and there are in existence a number of personal letters, some of which mention Patrick specifically Louisa was also a great friend of Queen Mary, wife of George V and was made Dame of the British Empire in 1920 and a Dame of Grace of the Order of St John.
