How interesting Jorge that you posted a pic where the Duchess's earrings can be seen better, thank you. I only had seen pictures from an angle that made me think (wrongly) that she was wearing her wedding earrings.
I have no date for the first appearence of this earrings, but I'm sure they are a recent aquisition, from 2010 or 2011 perhaps. Here's the only pic I have of Dona Isabel wearing them. Beautiful pieces!
And again I think on how the discrete Dona Isabel has in fact a considerable collection of jewelry that most people are unaware of. There are still several pieces left to discuss here, and I can tell you her collection is still growing... Respecting your wishes dear Jorge I will post Dona Isabel newest earrings aquisitions in future threads.
