It is certainly very impressive and outshines some of the other turquoise sets around --Previous Message-- : 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: : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Are the turquoise jewellery worn by Princess : Lillian her own personal property? : : --Previous Message-- : ...and yet another Duchess (of Halland ) : with : her turquoises: : : : : : --Previous Message-- : And another Duchess shows off her : turquoises! : : : : : : : : : : :
