The complete set of jewels, I mean necklace and earrings, with "green" stones, rubies and diamonds it was sometimes called "Tunisian", because Queen Fabiola wore for the first time during a state visit to Tunisia. I think too that the green stones are not emeralds, because they look too opaques and not translucent. I think they are semi-precious stones (maybe agatha or jade). Still, a very nice parure!
