This is the link to the story of the aquamarine suite - http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/dressfortheoccasion/object.asp?exhibs=BPSO2006jewellery&item=2 --Previous Message-- : She certainly did have an impressive jewellery : collection. Her memories are a fascinating : read but I just wish she'd written about : where her jewels came from! : : As mentioned in my earlier post, I think the : central element of this (also unknown to me) : tiara worn by Marie-Louise looks very : similar in shape to the large central : upright in Queen Elizabeth's Brazilian : aquamarine tiara. Were all the aquamarine's : in this parure newly sourced from Brazil for : this coronation gift or could some (eg the : central upright which was the original : pendant of the necklace) have come from the : Queen's vaults to complement & enhance : the set being made for her? : : --Previous Message-- : Such a beautiful photo of the princess. : Thanks : for clearing it out LJ, in the photos I've : seen of a young Marie Louise she looks a bit : diferent, with a much thinner and angled : face. : : And on Brian's pic she is wearing yet : another unknown (to me) tiara. She had an : impressive jewelry collection, amongs her : tiaras was one of my favourites (now with : the Gloucesters), the superb Indian tiara. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : I'm certain it is Marie-Louise. See NPG link : : : : : http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portraitLarge/mw157629/Princess-Marie-Louise-of-Schleswig-Holstein : : : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you Brian! Wonderful photos, these : jewels are totally new to me. : : But I must say that the second photo doesn't : resemble Pss Marie Louise to me, at least : from the photos I know of her in her younger : years... Am I the only one not to see a : resemblance ? It resembles me more her : sister Pss Helena Victoria... : : : : : --Previous Message-- : While browsing on the Royal Collection's web : site, I came across these two photographs : which appear to have been recently uploaded. : I don't recall having ever seen the tiaras : the princesses are wearing and thought I'd : share the photos here. : : : Link : : : Link : : : : : : : : : : :
