: 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!

: As I said, in front of Pss Cristina de
: Baviera
: is Pss Teresa of Orleans-Braganza, Mrs.
: 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.

: Thank you so much, Cristina, I've been
: wondering for some time who was wearing the
: lovely sapphire tiara and had no luck in
: finding the lady's name. You wouldn't happen
: to know who the lady to the right of the
: photo is with the other tiara who is
: partially obscured by the 'watermark' is?
: 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.
