I had started thread last year on the subjet of this demi-parure.
Princess Margarita did wore this set of jewels in the mid or late eighties at a charity event, also attended by HRH Madame la Comtesse de Paris, HRH Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy, and HH Princess Ira von Furstenberg. I think it is the same event where HRH the Duchess de Montpensier (Comtesse de Clermont at that time) wore that borrowed parure of cabochon sapphires and diamonds) and wearing a matching deep blue silk dress.
I remember seeing the coverage in French magazine called DYNASTIE, which sadly closed down after a few years.
