Royal Jewels of the World Message Board: Re: French State visit to Monaco

The jewel display was odd as were the seating / placement arrangements: Caroline more prominent in both departments than Charlene.... After all these years it shows that she's still not comfortable in her role: No tiars, no historical jewels, no leading role during visits with guests (she looks terribly lost, even in a swimming pool) no attempt to fall in line with the European royal (social) customs.... what a waste.
It seems to me that Charlene accepts that Caroline has precedence over her at these events because at least she knows what to do, how to behave and wear jewels....

French President Emmanuel Macron has paid on 7th June a State visit to the neighbouring Principality of Monaco. It is the first French State visit to Monaco since 1984, between President François Mitterrand and Prince Rainier III (of course, a lot of official contacts and bilateral visits between the two countries have taken place in the meantime, though it was below the protocol level of a State visit).

Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene hosted on the evening of Saturday, 7th June a State dinner in the Throne Room of Monaco Princely Palace.

No tiara for the ladies - disappointingly but not unexpectedly. Yet, there were quite a few interesting jewels on Princesses Charlene and Caroline.

HSH the Princess of Monaco wore a pair of large diamond earrings, that I would qualify of "rocaille girandoles" style (though the making is visibly recent). I don't remember whether Princess Charlene has already worn these earrings before, and I don't know if they belong to the Princess (or to the Princely collection), or if they were loaned to the Princess by a jeweller.

HRH Princess Caroline of Monaco, Princess of Hanover, has displayed a nice selection of jewels: besides a small diamond line necklace with a matching bracelet, she wore her pair of cushion-shaped diamond drop earrings, at least one (or maybe two?) of her Chaumet sapphire and diamond wings (pinned at the back of her hair) [correction after Baxter's comment: it a diamond-only jewel, without sapphires], and a nice brooch in the form of a diamond fleur-de-lys suspending a large grey/black pearl in a diamond surround. Has anyone information about this brooch?
On the last picture below, she also seems to be wearing on her left hand a ring with a very substantial pearl.
