Thank you so much, Cristina. I've added your information to the 'saved' photo cap so I can keep the two together. It's so interesting to see how jewels move from generation to generation, and country to country, and your explanation has been so valuable in that.
Many thanks!

: Martorell (she is the one hidden by the
: watermark ), sister of the late Isabelle,
: Countess of Paris and of Dona Maria
: Francisca, the late Duchess of Braganza
: mother of the present Duke Dom Duarte.
: She was one of my favourite senior royal
: ladies, even in her last years she remained
: a truly elegant and regal lady. She passed
: away recently.
: Dona Teresa had an impressive jewelry
: collection, apart from the diamonds she wore
: on this pic she had also beautiful
: aquamarines and peridots sets.

: Many thanks in advance.

: A really beautiful tiara indeed. Pss
: Cristina
: de Baviera is wearing it, behind her is her
: sister Tessa wearing what I think is a
: Diamond and pearl bandeau. The wonderfully
: bejeweled lady in the front is the ever
: elegant Pss Teresa of Orleans-Braganza,
: recently deceased.

: 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.

: The emerald parure matching the bridal tiara
: had also an impressive necklace earrings and
: brooch. I know nothing on their provenance,
: sadly, nor to their presente whereabouts.
:
: On the roubery at Carmen's house in Paris
: was the entire parure stolen?
: It makes me wonder if perhaps the emerald
: parure was a gift from her family? If not,
: why should she take it with her after she
: separeted from her husband? If it was an
: heirloom from Don Alfonso it would probably
: stayed in his possession.
: This was such an impressive and regal
: parure, such a pity it is missing.
:
: From old spanish magazines here is the
: emerald parure worn by Carmen
: Martinez-Bordiu at the prewedding reception,
: with the tiara worn on the back of her head,
: as a bride, and at a gala in her years as
: Duchess of Cadiz.

:
:
: The lady next to her in a saphire tiara is
: Tessa de Baviera, she is a cousin of the
: present King as descendant of Queen Maria
: Cristina. I believe her tiara belonged to
: Queen Maria Cristina.
