Thank you so much Mr Meylan for responding! --Previous Message-- : I am not sure I ever posted a list of jewels : "sold by princess Lilian". : But it is public knowledge that some jewels : were sold at Christie's Geneva, in 1988 or : 89, by princess Lilian. : : I wrote an article about it in Point de Vue, : a long long time ago. Actually it may have : been one of my first article about jewelry, : a long time before internet, and many of : you, were even born. : : Some of the jewels in this sale ( I remember : there might have been about 20 or 15 pieces : in the sale ) were bought back by the : jewelers who had made them. Cartier bought : the queen Elisabeth diamond tiara, and Van : Cleef & Arpels, bought a sapphire and : diamond brooch set in "serti : mystérieux". : : The other pieces were mainly Cartier and van : Cleef & Arpels jewels. But I am 100% : sure there was no piece of antique jewelry : in that auction and that the famous emerald : cabochon brooch was not in it. : : I hope it helps : : Vincent Meylan : : : :
