See my pages for the french crown jewels http://diamantsdelacouronne.free.fr/Diamants%20de%20la%20Couronne/index.html Empress Eugenie kept most of the jewels made for the duchess of Angouleme such as the emerald tiara,the turquoise parure, the sapphire parure and the ruby one. The pearl and diamond parure was created by jeweller Lemmonier in 1853 from jewels created for the duchess of Angouleme around 1820. The famous currant diamond leaves parure, the big diamonds belt and the big diamond bow brooch were made at the same time for Empress Eugenie with crown diamonds along with the russian fringe tiara and the greek key tiara.
