And the splendid sapphire parure of the Crown Jewels: (most pictures come from Lorenzo's website http://diamantsdelacouronne.free.fr/Diamants%20de%20la%20Couronne/Parure%20de%20saphirs/index.html) The sapphire parure was worn by the Countess of Cholmondeley at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953: The parure was later sold at auction in the 1970s, after the tiara and the necklace were heavily transformed . The necklace resurfaced at the beginning of the 2000s, at a Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris, at a retailer named Zendrini: The pair of earrings of the parure was bought after 1887 by Princess Clementine of Orleans or by her son, Tsar Ferdinand I of Bulgaria. They were later given by Tsar Simeon II to Princess Marie-Thérèse of Wurttemberg as a wedding gift, when she married Prince Henri of Orleans, then Count of Clermont (now Count of Paris and Head of the French Royal House). They are now worn by Marie-Thérèse's daughter-in-law, Philomena, Duchess of Vendôme:
