: So the possible timeline would be this, : following Tamara’s theory: : : CP Josefina already had a small emerald : tiara. At one point, Queen Josefina : inherited her sister Empress Amélie of : Brazil’s Napoleonic emerald tiara, most : likely created by Paris jeweller Pabst, and : said to have belonged to Empress Joséphine. : (NOTE: What’s the original source for this : last information?) : It has been repeated quite often that the Norwegian emerald parure originally belonged to the Empress Josephine, but I do not know what is the original source for this information. As far as I understand, it has never been proved, and is rather unlikely as the Empress had another grand emerald parure, which was inherited by the Russian Leuchtenbergs and later sold. It is well known that Queen Josephine inherited silver and jewels after her sister Amelie´s death, and thus the emerald parure has been connected to this inheritance instead. Whether this is mere speculation or based on facts I don´t know. I haven´t seen any authors prove this by reference to letters or a will. I suppose the will of the Empress Amelie might exist somewhere. IF the present parure is a combination of jewels inherited from Brazil, and a smaller tiara/hair piece inherited from Empress Josephine, this might explain the longstanding rumour about these emeralds belonging to the French empress. : : : Next, Princess Ingeborg is given the tiara, : and either she or Crown Princess Märtha (do : we know for sure who it was?) altered the : tiara, using some of the palmette motifs to : replace the drop emeralds which are turned : into earrings, removing further motifs as : pendants from the grand necklace and : choosing to spread those pendants all over : her family - to the delight and horror of us : royal jewelry watchers... There are pictures of Princess Ingeborg wearing the altered version. :
