Altough Queen Amélia's documentary is not jewelry focus, it does have several pictures of her wearing her most iconic jewels: the stunning emerald wedding parure, the Aumale brooch, the fabulous long pearl sautoir gift from her husband, the riviéres, the Dom Luís diadem, the original star tiara, the saphire choker, the diamond choker now worn by Duchess Dona Isabel, and at least two brooches I'm not familiar with. Also Queen Maria Pia wearing the diamond riviéres.
Apart from the main subject of the documentary these are also very good reasons to take a look at it.
Indeed, how moving to ear HM voice...and how amazingly beautiful she still looked in her last years.
This documentary is fairly recent, it was broadcasted by a french tv channel not that long ago, but I'm not sure we will see it sometime in portuguese tv. Yes, the presidential busts discussion is so much more interesting, really  .
