    Jorge thank you for the links to Queen Maria Pia gold pieces (I really must think on taking some time to explore the Ajuda archives ).
    Wow, those gold filigrane pieces are of a superb craftmanship, I really cannot imagine how many hours the artisan jeweler took to complete them.

    Oh yes, we could say so much on the traditional gold jewelry, we would probably need a new board for that! I think we will only stay focused on the royal jewelry, we still have some lovely jewels yet to discuss .

    : Thank you so much Cristina, for those
    : informations and pictures. I completely
    : forgot the gold chains, the gold cross and
    : the medallion. But even if I had remembered,
    : I would have no pictures to illustrate (at
    : least not as good as yours).

    : I really never paid really good attention to
    : the jewels HRH used at the pre-wedding
    : bullfight. The earrings seems lovely.

    : Very well remembered the festivities of
    : Nossa Senhora da Agonia. And very well
    : explained. The traditional costumes, the
    : popular/traditional jewels and the tradition
    : makes that festivity to be a fantastic
    : event. Do you believe I never went to Viana
    : do Castelo to see the procession live? But
    : it in my ‘must do’ list. But the
    : traditions around the Portuguese gold jewels
    : would lead us to say so many things.
    : Unfortunately that would be completely off
    : topic. Don't you agree?

    : Yes, Queen D.Maria Pia had some traditional
