Thank you Boris. So these are the Brazilian earrings! I have this picture for years and never notest those earrings . I checked my files and this seems to be the only ocasion I've seen them being worn. I don't know if there are better pictures of the brazilian earrings, but they seem mostly like a simple line of (splendid) diamonds just hanging from the ear. I must say I was expecting a more elaborate design for these earrings... So, the Brazilian set consisted of the fabulous diamond floral tiara, the rose brooch, these earrings and most likely a riviére... --Previous Message-- : Taking into account that the rarely worn : earrings of the Brazilian parure are : surprisingly simple as well (see below), it : might be wrong indeed to expect the necklace : to be very ornate; as you said, one of the : rivières remains the most likely solution : here. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : Maybe the matching necklace left the main : line : at some point and was subsequently auctioned : off? I doubt that it is one of the rivières : as they are not "matching" in : design. (Though I love rivières as they are : so versatile.) : : : : ===================================================== : : In the post linked to above, Mr. Isaksen : says that according to Göran Alm the parure : was left to the royal jewellery foundation. : I think it would be highly unlikely that : Queen Silvia would have a grand diamond : necklace at her disposal and not have worn : it after all these years, so the necklace : must be the one shown in the photo provided : by Boris. : : A large ornate necklace might be too much : with that huge tiara. I really like the : look of a diamond rivière or two (or seven : ) on a lady. : : :
