I lost diamond and citrine earring closeup but I remember clearly that it was identical design to the first 3 photos I posted...the 'diamond' ones...I am absolutely sure they are both fake.

: Tamara, not 'all her dangly earrings' have the
: same design... actually, the only two pairs
: with exactly the design as described by you
: are these two, the turquoise and the
: 'diamond' earrings pictured in your post.
: And while very similar, the design of those
: is not identical either.
: Regarding the 'diamond' ones, I've always
: had my doubts as well, but the story of the
: turquoises might not be as simple.
:
: It's obvious that Princess Lilian has always
: preferred longer, dangling pendant earrings,
: no matter if it's her diamond and pearl, her
: emerald or chandelier earrings, all of which
: are most certainly real, and I don't see a
: preference for a certain design as
: indicative of 'fake' per se.
:
: Without a close look at others (I
: particularly suspect her diamond and
: 'citrine' earrings to be possibly fake) it's
: just not possible to tell.

: thanks Boris...
: i just don't understand why all her dangly
: earrings have the same teardrop design
: surrounded with diamonds and then half way
: another row of diamonds...to me such
: repetative pattern screams
: "Fake"...i know its hard to
: believe that is the possibility but I have
: always questioned her earrings...any
: earrings with the different color stones in
: the same design....
:
: and honestly this whole turquoise demi
: parure is questionable as far as stone and
: diamonds being real...there is something
: about the design of this necklace that is
: off...

:
:
: Here is a great closeup to show why I think
: they are fake. If anyone is knowledgeable
: about how jewelry is made, you should see
: with your trained eye what I mean

: That's a very good question.
: As this grand demi-parure has not been worn
: by any other of the present Bernadotte
: ladies (like CP Margaret's laurel leaf
: tiara, which is unquestionably Lilian's
: private property), it should be most likely
: in her personal possession.
: But its provenance is something of a
: mystery. There is no record of a previous
: Swedish Royal wearing the set, and another
: odd fact is that Lilian only started to wear
: it in public in the second half of the
: 1990s.
: A certain very knowledgeable poster here
: once hinted at the possibility that the
: turquoises might have a royal provenance
: indeed and found their way back to the main
: Bernadotte family branch.
: Another good view of earrings, necklace and
: ring:

: Are the turquoise jewellery worn by Princess
