Re: Plenty Luxembourg tiaras on display

Sorry but I am not conversant with the orders of the Luxembourg RF. What are the orders being worn & why do three ladies have blue sashes & the other two ladies an orange sash?

: 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.

: 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?

: 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!
