One more date: King’s representation gala dinner, Stockholm Palace 1/16/2002: --Previous Message-- : thanks..I will really try to find anything : but no promises... : : : : --Previous Message-- : 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. 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! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
