    thank's Lorenzo for the banner . but I don't agree with you .in PDV , Vincent Meylan explain :the earings are a marriage gift from the Bulgarie family to the Duchesse de Montpensier in 1957 -never they are the property of Madame la Comtesse de PARIS ;another people explain me again the same history ! He also said me that the next PDV will be very interesting about thes jewels .

    : The saphires in the Louvre were the personal
    : jewels of the Orleans family.
    : These earrings belongued to the state crown
    : jewels collection sold in 1887. They were
    : bought by Germain Bapst, a french jeweller
    : who probably sold later the lower part to
    : prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, a grand-son of
    : king Louis-Philippe. In 1931 they were
    : offered to princess Isabelle of
    : Orleans-Braganca when she married prince
    : Henri in Palermo. The comtesse de Paris has
    : worn them sometimes with the necklace now in
    : the Louvre in the 70's.
    : It's now her grand-son prince Jean who owns
    : them.

    : I thought that parure had been given to the
    : Louvre years ago (the other one, with
    : pearls, was sold, I think).
    :
    : So obviously not, if the current Duchess of
    : Vendome is wearing them. Perhaps her
    : mother-in-law the Duchess of Montpensier was
    : able to keep a few of the pieces??

    : en effet la Duchesse de Vendome porte des

    : Montpensier- dont l'écrin est parait il
    : fabuleux .boucles portées à quelques
    : occasions par Madame la Comtesse de Paris .
    : l'origine indiquée par V.M. - vente des
    : bijoux de la couronne de France en 1887 ne
    : semble pas discutable mais il faut remarquer
    : toutefois - voir photos - qu'ii y avait 2
