1st photo of this post: The top brooch, part of a pair with a bar brooch in the middle to form an art-deco brooch was sold years ago.
The bow-brooch below was again part of a pair, and at least one of them was still in Princess Maria Gabriella's possession in 1995 when she wore at the pre-wedding evening in Lisbon for the marriage of HRH the Duke of Bragança and Doña Isabel.
