The first pic was taken in New York in 1973 when they atended a gala performance at the Met. The necklace and earpendants are the property of the Duchess of Franco. She lent both to one of her daughters-in-law some years ago. But they´re too impressive for use today. The tiara worn by Princess Tessa de Baviera was auctioned in 1985. --Previous Message-- : The emerald parure matching the bridal tiara : had also an impressive necklace earrings and : brooch.
