comparison turquoise necklaces and tiara - to Boffer Archived Message

The necklace which is now with SJ Phillips can't be owned by the Grand-Duchess, I was wrong. However it may have been loaned when it was worn in 2008. About the Baden necklace comparison with the large one, let the picture speak for itself, I have no more comment. Boffer it's your belief that it was never purchased by the Luxembourgs but why "it should thus be dismissed from future discussion" ? I find this totally inappropriate. The time will tell if we will see again the large turquoise necklace on GD Maria Teresa or only the tiara from time to time. In any case, you would agree : this will always be a pleasure for the eyes. --Previous Message-- : The Belgian turquoise necklace is now for sale : at SJ Philips, so there is no possibility : that it is owned by the Grand-Duchess. : : : http://www.sjphillips.com/19th-century-turquoise-and-diamond-parure-comprising-fringe-necklace-pair-bracelets-forming-choker-pendant-brooch-and-pair-pendants-DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=6&tabindex=5&objectid=220506&categoryid=2055 : : What's more, comparing the Grand-Duchess : large turquoise necklace to the Baden : necklace, it is clear that although having : similar elements that they are different : pieces. : : For example in the Baden necklace, the : palmette motifs contain a large turquoise : stone, whereas in the Grand-duchess's : necklace con taints all diamond motifs. Also : the whole chain is different, whereas the : grand-duchess's large necklace contains : turquoise and diamond clusters separated by : diamond collets; whereas in the Baden : necklace, the clusters are separated by : turquoise stones. : : Not to mention the countless additional : pendants. : : Thus these two necklaces are totally : different, and it is my belief that the : Baden necklace was never purchased for the : Grand-Duchal collection, and should thus be : dismissed from future discussion. : : I believe above there has been discussed : four totally different pieces, that are in : no way connected: : : 1) The Baden Turquoise Necklace : 2) The Grand-Duchess's Large Turquoise : Necklace : 3) The Grand-Duchess's Small Turquoise : Necklace : 4) The Grand-Duchess's Turquoise Tiara : : (And also the Belgian Turquoise necklace was : briefly mentioned). :
