Thank you, Beth, for these pictures of these golden jewels of Queen Fabiola. Though "minor" (when compared to diamond-studded jewels), these golden jewels are very impressive! I have no indication about the origin of the golden bracelet worn in Warsaw by Queen Mathilde. In his book about the Belgian royal jewels (Bijoux des reines et princesses de Belgique, published in 2004), Christophe Vachaudez mentions (page 158 of the French edition) that Queen Fabiola "accepted a golden belt during an African tour. It was necessary to adapt it to her waist size, as there were too many links" (my own personal translation). I wonder if this could be the golden-loop necklace on your second and fourth pictures (but it is just a supposal).
