Thank you Jon! This is a most imposing and regal brooch and your last close-up pic of Dona Maria Francisca wearing these jewels is really beautiful! I've had that first pic for many years but didn't know it was the engagement photo. If the bride to be is wearing the emerald earrings perhaps that means they are engagement/wedding gifts? Perhaps from the groom? Dona Isabel is usually very clear in answering to journalists about the jewelry she is wearing at some event when she is asked about it, so let's hope she wears it and there's a good media coverage. We don't know the reason why the present Duchess does not wear these pieces but I would love to see her wearing them! --Previous Message-- : This Emerald set of jewelry is very beautiful : such a shame D. Isabel doesn't make use of : these jewels. I also though it could be : possible that these jewels were inherited by : D. Duarte's 2 brothers and that's why D. : Isabel doesn't wear them, but knowing that : she has others jewels she rarely or never : wears it could just be she doesn't like : large ostentatious jewelry. : : Here we see a picture taken during Duarte : Nuno and Maria Franciscas engagement and she : wears the earrings. So in my opinion the : earrings (and possibly the brooch) weren't : wedding presents. Could they possibly be : engagement presents? Or maybe early wedding : presents from her parents? Who knows maybe : we'll write to Dom Duarte and he'll answer : us lol : : : : Here are 3 more pictures of Dona Maria : Francisca with the earrings and brooch. : : : : : : : : : : :
