Great Thanks Arthur, your answer is perfect as always .
For the bracelet I agree ,it not Prince Michel's , the design is different.
Prince François 's wedding was one of the last and I was surprised not to see more of the Comte and Comtesse de Paris's Children. No show up from the Wurtenberg at all.
Two Princes are unmarried , Prince Jacques youngest Sun and Count Robert de la Marche but perhaps they will remain single.
Kind regards MO

: Hello Maria-Olivia,
:
: indeed, Princess Chantal seems to be a fine
: amateur of historic jewels. Her husband,
: Baron François-Xavier de Sambucy de Sorgues,
: seems to be a very wealthy man, which can
: help, too.
:
: On these pictures (the small one from Corbis
: Images, the larger one taken by myself when
: I attended Prince Jean and Princess
: Philomena's wedding in Senlis on 2 May
: 2009), the bracelet is not visible. But we
: can see very clearly the emerald and diamond
: earrings and brooch (of whom I very strongly
: suspect that they were made from elements of
: the late Countess of Paris' Coty tiara,
: which was bought by Princess Chantal from
: her mother prior to her death) and the
: diamond "Southern Cross" square
: brooch from the Princess of Joinville, here
: pinned as a clasp in front of Princess
: Chantal's jacket.
:
:
:
:
: The following picture from Zimbio (that I
: have published earlier in the thread about
: the brooches worn by pair) shows that
: Princess Chantal wore that day a large
: bracelet, possibly of diamonds, and of which
: you suspect it could be the Art Deco diamond
: bandeau/bracelet presented as a wedding gift
: to the Countess of Paris in 1931. But the
: picture is not HQ or close-up pictures to be
: sure.
:
:
:
: Actually, I think it is not the Countess of
: Paris's tiara. I have found in my files a
: picture posted on this board by EricVdV, who
: was also present in Senlis on that day. As
: it is one of EricVdV's personal pictures, I
: do not feel allowed to post it here in full.
: I hope he will forgive me to post this
: cropped fragment of this picture, focusing
: on the bracelet. As you can see, the
: distinctive treillice motifs of the Countess
: of Paris' tiara is not visible here, which
: makes me think these are two different
: bracelets.
:
:
:
: I hope this can help.
:
: Best wishes,
:

: Chantal at the Duke of Vendome's wedding.

: which is the inheritance of her brother
: Prince Michel Count of Evreux.
