Thanks a lot Tamara, I was just wondering if I should go down the looong and winding road of searching for a good pic of this 2nd set! I wish there was a HQ pic of the grand turquoise set, or at least a clear close up in artificial light - that would tell us more. Having the clearest pics of it in dull daylight (in the dress with the turquoise pattern, outside of Gripsholm Castle at the royal couple's silver wedding 2001) is not so helpful IMHO... --Previous Message-- : I think this set (photo below) of turquoise : jewels looks more real, than this grand demi : parure you referring to...just my personal : observation. : : : : --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! : : : : : : : : : : : : :
