We never saw again the emeralds Princess Astrid received as present for King Baudouin birth.
Princess Lilian was the last wearer.
The emerald brooch is important. At Princess Marie José Wedding Queen Elisabeth wore the top of the pendent on her Cartier tiara and Princess Astrid the main brooch on her dress.
Josephine Charlotte received the earrings and some emeralds but never the tiara and never the Brooch.
Queen Astrid wore also the nine province diamonds as necklace.

Have once seen a pics of a necklace in the luxemburgian collection which looked similar only bar the emeralds. perhaps it went to Joséphine-Charlotte who is said to got her mothers emeralds. Previous Message
I have read that the big emerald brooch with pendant is no longer in the family but I know nothing about the tiara (wich I think belonged to Fabiola)

She was creative with using the diamonds of the Nine Provinces tiara as necklaces, or the base of her tiara.
The breakup of the emerald necklace/tiara makes me sad. Also, what a shame to lose the large emerald brooch.
