Bingo! What an eagle eye Jorge! Thank you! This is why those brooches were so intriguing to me, I knew that swirl motif was somewhat familiar. Here's a Gettyimages pic with a clearer image, and enlarged from the original posted by Arthur: The Countess of Barcelona had other twin diamond brooches, apart from the rubi wedding gift pair, so at some point she had these ones set as a small tiara for her youngest daughter. --Previous Message-- : Wow, what a surprise: lots of great pictures : and lots of informations about the : whereabouts of the jewels. Thanks for both : Arthur and Cristina: you made may day. : : I had no idea, for example, that those : three pearl brooches were in the main line : of the SRF (in reality I only knew one of : them – the one on the right in the first : picture posted by Arthur). It seems to me : that King D.Juan Carlos and Queen D.Sofia : made an amazing job preserving and acquiring : historical family jewels. : Is it possible that one day the rest of the : jewels will find its way to the main line of : the family? : : Now, a “new” information: apparently the : swirl brooches were, at some point, turned : into a tiara now owned by HRH Infanta : D.Margarita, Duchess of Soria (the youngest : sister of King D.Juan Carlos): : : : : It also seems that the tiara can be worn : with upright pearls: : : : :
