Tamara, Princess Lilian wore the turquoises for several white tie galas, including a few of the King's representation dinners... But the two occasions which might have received the biggest coverage besides the King and Queen's Silver Wedding are the King's 'Day After' Nobel gala in 1998 (11th of December) and the state banquet for South African President Mandela during his state visit to Sweden on March 17, 1999 (just looked it up ). --Previous Message-- : anytime...Boris please remind me the event : where she wore this turquoise necklace? I : will try to search for it...there must be a : better photo somewhere. : : Maybe is we track down which magazines : covered that event, we'll have a better : chance on getting closeup of that necklace? : : : --Previous Message-- : 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.
