Thank you so much Ursula, Vincent and to you dear Cristina. The Emerald jewels are simply stunning. --Previous Message-- : Úrsula, the pic of the large emerald corsage : brooch is totally new to me. Never seen it : before, it was not on the sketch of the : wedding gifts from the french relatives to : Pss Amelie I've seen (published on a book on : Queen Amélia by Eduardo Nobre). : I am questioning if this large corsage : brooch was part of the wedding gifts because : the sketch only depicted (as jewels): the : emerald tiara, the emerald necklace, 3 : smaller emerald elements (a small brooch and : perhaps the earrings never worn) and the : Aumale brooch. This big brooch is not : depicted there nor in any of the pictures I : know of the queen wearing her emerald : parure, she always wore the Aumale. : : As to the emerald bangle bracelet, pendants : brooch and the Aumale brooch I have written : here before how they ended up for auction : (source: the book on the portuguese royal : jewels by Eduardo Alves Marques). : My own words from a previous post: : "Queen Amélia left the fabulous emerald : brooch, that her uncle the Duke of Aumale : had given her as wedding gift, to her sister : Luisa, married with Pc Carlos de : Bourbon-Dos-Sicílias. Along with the brooch : there were two emerald pendants and a gold, : diamond and emerald bracelet. : Luisa´s daughter, Esperanza, inherited these : emeralds. She was married to Dom Pedro of : Brazil. Dona Esperanza gave the emeralds as : a wedding gift to her daughter Pss Maria da : Glória when she married Pc Alexander of : Youguslavia. They divorced years later and : she remarried with the Duke of Segorbe. In : December 1981 Pss Maria da Gloria auctioned : the emerald jewels in Sotheby´s New York : (most likely she preferred having the money : rather than jewels she would rarely : wore).They were auctioned again in : 1999." : : You also mention an emerald choker I am not : familiar with. I've seen pictures of the : queen wearing a choker with her emeralds but : it was a Cartier saphire choker (she knew it : would look well, as the pictures were b/w : and sepia). : It was this one: : : : Thank you again for the beautiful pages on : this kind and tragic queen. : : : --Previous Message-- : Royal Emerald Parure | Marie Amélie : d’Orléans : Queen of Portugal Presents to her Marriage : : Her Famous Emerald Diamond Jewels - The : original Stomacher, and the second item: : Emerald devant de Corsage with an Orleans : history. : : : Orginal Ornament, Part of her necklace with : Emeralds and Diamonds: : : : : http://royal-magazin.de/portugal/amelia-emerald-tiara-jewel-parure.htm : : : : http://royal-magazin.de/portugal/amalia-emerald-brooch-jewels-joyas.htm : : : : http://royal-magazin.de/portugal/amalie-emerald-necklace-jewels.htm : : : : http://www.royal-magazin.de/portugal/amelie-emerald-bangle-jewel-brooch.htm : : hope you enjoy it.... : : : : : : :
