The necklace of Stephanie de Beauharnais went to her granddaughter Marie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, countess of Flanders. She left it to her daughter and the necklace was sold a few years ago. The countess of Flanders did leave the pearl tiara of Stephanie de Beauharnais to her granddaughter Marie-José. This piece was sold by Marie-Gabrielle of Savoy recently. --Previous Message-- : The marquise of Chaponay is a : "feminine-line" descendant of : Stephanie GD of Baden and so the necklace : passed on to her, the mother having : bequeathed it to her daughter in each : generation. And the marquise is a first : cousin of King Leopold father of GD : Josephine Charlotte. There is the connection : but not by the last GD of Baden. : : --Previous Message-- : Could the last grand duchess of Baden have : left her turquoises to her niece, the grand : duchess of Luxembourg? She left other : jewels thus. And that's a much closer : family relationship than the one between the : marquise of Chaponay and the GD Josephine. : : :
