Yes Beth, Maria Theresia is wearing the ruby and diamond tiara, while Gloria and Elisabeth are photgraphed in tiara with the emerald drops. As for the necklaces, I cannot tell. I am almost certain it is not the emerald, ruby and diamond choker in your photo. Like you, I believe that piece was sold at auction. I guess we'll have to wait until the book is released for, if not better shots, at least a closer look.
--Previous Message-- : Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis is without : a doubt one of favorite personalities of all : time. The dichotomy that is Princess TNT is : what facinates me most, I suppose. From a : punk haired, jewel ladden, party girl and by : her own admission "spoiled brat" : she has grown into the devout Catholic and : shrewd business woman we know her as today. : : Next month, Rizzoli is publishing The House : of Thurn und Taxis which is filled with : beautiful pictures from the celebrated : photographer and Thurn und Taxis family : friend, Todd Eberle. : : To my eternal delight, the book will include : photographs of not only Princess Gloria in a : rarely worn tiara, but her two daughters as : well. Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis claims : it was Eberle who requested the ladies be : photographed in tiaras (not to mention some : of Gloria's vintage couture, which I was : delighted to see again). She also claims it : marked the first time her mother allowed her : to wear these princely heirlooms. : Unfortunately, it will most likely be the : last time, as well. So thank you Mr. : Eberle, for allowing us this glimpse of : these magnificent tiaras. : : All photos *Todd Eberle* : : : : : : : :
