I much prefer the bandeau (which is a very beautiful piece) worn without a necklace. Wouldn't like to see it mirrored in one way or the other... The earrings seem to be beautiful and the stones look quite substantial. From a practical point of view I'm rather surprised though about an acquisition which is so similar in shape/size/colour to the wedding earrings.

The : Dukes of Braganza were family and close : friends and probably because of that they : stayed in the main group (even not being a : reigning family). In this kind of things the : jewels used by the woman were obviously : discussed but for some reason nobody really : cared about the Duchess of Braganza. In fact : I only read criticisms about her dress and : the lack of major jewels (for example a : necklace). But I only can assume that they : said that because didn’t took attention to : the earrings used by the Duchess. To me they : appear to be diamonds with quite big diamond : pendants. What about you? What do you think? : : : : : : : : P.S - please do not speak of other earrings : because they probably will have their own : thread. :
