: Archduchess Rosemary's pink topaze parure is : supposed to come from Empress Marie-Louise I have read it several times, but I have no definite information proving this supposal with certainty. We know that the ex-Empress Marie-Louise bequeathed most of her personal jewels to her Habsburg relatives, so it was probably the case for her topaz and diamond parure too. As I said in my earlier post, Archduchess Rosemary descended from the Teschen branch of the Habsburg family through her mother, while her husband, Archduke Hubert-Salvator, was a member of the Toscana branch of the Habsburg dynasty through his father, while his mother was Archduchess Marie-Valerie, herself the youngest daughter of Emperor Franz-Joseph and Empress Elisabeth "Sissi". If we compare pictures of the topaz parure worn by Empress Marie-Louise (on her portrait by François Gérard) and of the one worn by Archduchess Rosemary, I think there could be a match for the necklace and for the earrings. But the tiara looks to be of a different design.
