Searching in my old files, I came across some portuguese royal jewels and found a better picture of Queen Maria II of Portugal with her emerald tiara, with matching brooch and bracelet. It then appears more clearly that the tiara has at least three substantial emeralds.
Through her daughter Infante Antonia the tiara ended up to the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen princely House and was seen on Pcess Birgitta of Sweden at the 1967 danish royal wedding :
I would like to add another royal emerald jewel from the Queens of Portugal collection: a huge bow brooch which belonged to Queen Marie Anne and is showed off in one Lisboa 's Palace. Do you know any more about it ?
