Here is a bigger version of the same pic, representing Archduchess Isabella dressed up for Emperor Charles' coronation as King of Hungary in 1916. She is wearing the splendid peridot and diamond parure inherited from Archduchess Henriette, her husband's grandmother. The big pear-shaped diamond hanging from a chain in the middle of the sash of the Order of Elisabeth is probably the same as the one she wears on the picture Fiorentino82 has posted. But as I explain in a separate message, I do not think it is the Florentine Diamond. (source: Wikipedia commons - you can find an even bigger version of this picture here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Princess_Isabella_of_Cro%C3%BF.jpg) --Previous Message-- : : Yes indeed, even in the second photo we can : see the what I think the same Diamond : attached to the sash... : : --Previous Message-- : Archduchess Isabella had an incredible : jewels : collection. : : Here is her peridots and diamonds set: : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Hi All, : : This is my first post here )) : I have always been fascinated by the : Austrian Habsburgs but in the matter of : their jewels records are very rare.
