A big Thanks Cristina. I would love to see the Duchess wear the jewels she wore to her pre-wedding gala and the summer event. They are spectacular and Dona Isabel wore them to perfection, of course, all her jewelry is worn to to perfection. It would be interesting, as you stated to see HRH wearing some jewelry she may have received as private wedding gifts. The pieces from the late King Hassan are breath taking to be sure. Today was the Duke's birthday so plenty to celebrate this week. --Previous Message-- : I'm certain that Dona Isabel must have : received several jewelry gifts as wedding : presents, from her husband, family, : portuguese nobility, closest royals... : However, as private gifts, not much is known : (nor confirmed) about it. : I've always wondered about what gifts came : from the Cadaval, the Palmela...not sure we : will ever find out. : : At the time of the wedding the press : reported mainly on the gift from the late : King Hassan of Morocco.
