Astrid had quite a number of jewels not all have a known track record and plenty of them have unknown whereabouts.
1) Tiara of the Nine Provinces (from the Belgians now with Queen Mathilde) 2) Stockholm tiara (from the citizens of Stockholm last seen on princess Lilian) 3) Art deco bandeau (from Queen Elisabeth now with Queen Paola) 4) Diamond and large emerald tiara (from Albert I and Elisabeth not seen on Astrid or since) 5) Emerald necklace/tiara (from Albert I and Elisabeth on the birth of Boudewijn, current owner unknown) 6) Diamond riviere (from Gustav V of Sweden current owner unknown) 7) diamond and emerald bracelet/choker (from Albert I and Elisabeth now with the Grand Duke of Luxembourg) 8) Emerald earrings (from her parents now with Grand Duke of Luxembourg) 9) Diamond and emerald cross (from her mother current owner?)
Would be nice if we found out more about who owns these pieces today and see them worn again.
I'd like to see Queen Mathilde with the diamond and emerald necklace/tiara together with the Spanish wedding gift tiara as a coronet with the green stones and the large emerald and pendant previously worn by Elisabeth and Lilian and possibly earlier belonging to the countess of Flanders.
--Previous Message-- : That piece crossed my mind as a possibility. : Here's the Luxarazzi post on the necklace . : But I think there are a couple of things : that don't match up: : : -- It's said to have been either a gift from : Queen Elisabeth on the birth of : Josephine-Charlotte or a present from : Leopold III. : -- I've never read that it could be worn as : a tiara, only as a necklace/bracelet. : -- The emerald is lovely, but is it really : "large"? I don't know! :-) :
