Great picture !; To me Princess Claire stole the show : small tiara huge necklace and earings which does not belong to the Grand Ducal jewels. Very happy to see the floral brooch for Hed Grand Duchess Stephanie. --Previous Message-- : I agree with Bryce that the simple design of : Hereditary Grand-Duchess Stéphanie reminds : of the fluid style of the dresses of the : 1920s/1930s. All Grand-Ducal ladies were : quite elegant, but Stéphanie was, in my : opinion, the most elegant of them. : : She is also wearing on her sash one of the : large (and beautiful) rose brooches of the : Grand-Ducal Collection. This is the first : time she is wearing one of these brooches, : isn't it? : : : © Photo 2015 Cour grand-ducale / Christian : Aschman / tous droits réservés : : Agnes, every new tiara would be welcome, of : course! : But the Grand-Ducal collection is actually : not quite short on tiaras: besides the 5 : tiaras worn on the pictures above, there are : still at least 9 other tiaras available: the : big Nassau diamond tiara, the vine-grape : diamond tiara, the small diamond floral : tiara, Grand-Duchess Charlotte's Chaumet Art : Déco tiara with a large central cabochon : emerald, Grand-Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte's : peacock emerald tiara/necklace, the : aquamarine tiara/bracelet, the small : turquoise tiara, the Chaumet pearl and : diamond treillice tiara, and the small : diamond tiara with butterfly-motifs worn : last year for the first (and only) time by : Grand-Duchess Stéphanie at the National : Day's reception at the Grand-Ducal Palace. : Plus possibly two other tiaras whose current : whereabouts are unknown: Grand-Duchess : Joséphine-Charlotte's Congo diamond : bandeau/necklace and the mysterious emerald : tiara worn by Grand Duchess : Joséphine-Charlotte at Queen Margrethe II : and Prince Henrik of Denmark's wedding in : 1967. : : I think the Grand-Ducal collection is : shorter on necklaces. The necklaces worn by : Grand-Duchess Maria-Teresa or her : daughters-in-law/daughter are often quite : small and do not fit properly, IMHO, with : the size and style of the larger and : classical tiaras. Several of the necklaces : are even not real necklaces, but bracelets : mounted as necklaces. New necklaces would be : needed to complement properly the : Grand-Ducal tiaras. : : PS: this is an off-jewel-topic remark, but I : had not realized that Princess Claire was so : tall! : : :
