You answered my 3 questions , great because I just saw on TV : les Secrets de l' Histoire from Stephane Bern about Queen Amélia. I learned a lot! --Previous Message-- : Hi Maria Olivia, you are very welcome to ask : questions on the portuguese jewels! : : To our knowledge Dona Isabel has at least : one more (other than the Dom Luis diadem) : major jewel worn by Queen Amélia: the : diamond choker that the Duchess has also : worn as a tiara. : Dona Isabel also owns a saphire brooch (not : yet discussed here, but already mentioned : here several times) that at some point : belonged to Queen Amélia. She never wore it : in public. : Hypothetically there could be some other : jewels coming from the late queen, but so : far I found no reliable source or document : on what jewels these could be. There are : many mystery provenances and whereabouts on : the portuguese royal jewels . : : The whereabouts of Queen Amélia´s fabulous : long pearl necklace is unknown... : : Here´s Queen Amélia wearing the Diamond : choker (amongs other fabulous jewels) and : Dona Isabel wearing it as choker and as : tiara in Sweden for the king´s 60th birthday : celebrations. : : : : It is referred in some source books that the : previous Queen Augusta Victoria (and later : Countess Douglas) visited her former mother : in law when the old queen was already in her : final days, and that the queen gave her one : piece of jewelry. It is not known exactly : what jewel that was. : When Augusta Victoria died, without descent, : all her jewelry, including all the : portuguese origin jewels given to her by her : first husband and mother in law, were : inherited by her nephews and nieces. : : Queen Amélia left the fabulous emerald : brooch, that her uncle the Duke of Aumale : had given her as wedding gift, to her sister : Luisa, married with Pc Carlos de : Bourbon-Dos-Sicílias. Along with the brooch : there were two emerald pendants and a gold, : diamond and emerald bracelet. : Luisa´s daughter, Esperanza, inherited these : emeralds. She was married to Dom Pedro of : Brazil. Dona Esperanza gave the emeralds as : a wedding gift to her daughter Pss Maria da : Glória when she married Pc Alexander of : Youguslavia. They divorced years later and : she remarried with the Duke of Segorbe. In : December 1981 Pss Maria da Gloria auctioned : the emerald jewels in Sotheby´s New York : (most likely she preferred having the Money : rather than jewels she would rarely : wore).They were auctioned again in 1999 and : are now on anonymous hands... : : Here´s Queen Amélia wearing the emerald : parure along with the emerald brooch from : her uncle Aumale, and her niece Dona : Esperanza of Brazil wearing the brooch at : her daughter Maria da Gloria wedding. : : : : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Thanks also ! I do like their jewels : Except the wedding tiara there are no jewels : left from Queen D. Amelia? even not her long : pearl necklace ? : I suppose King Manuel Ii's widow jewels are : back to the Hannover S. or the Douglas as : she had no Children. : : Why did the Duchess of Segorbe sell : Portuguese Royal jewels? : : Sorry if discussed before ! : : --Previous Message-- : Thanks for sharing these great pictures with : us! Always nice to see Portuguese Jewels on : these boards : : : : : :
