Radama, that's an interesting theory, but: - Only three pendants of the Baden necklace resemble the design of the setting of all the turquoises in the tiara - The necklace does have larger and less turquoises than the tiara - There's no evidence that the Luxembourg Grand ducal family bought the Baden necklace in the first place - I don't see the connection between tiara and GD Maria Theresa's grand necklace either, because the turquoises in the motifs removed when the necklace was worn in its shorter version are indeed larger than the ones in the tiara - see Tamara's post above. In other words, I'm sorry but I don't think that your theory is correct. IMO, the tiara, GD Maria Teresa's necklace and the Baden necklace are three different pieces. --Previous Message-- : : Taking a closer look at GD Maria Teresa : necklace and the GD of Baden one's, it is : most likely the same necklace and probably : was aquired by the Luxembourg House .
