    I have found another picture (unfortunately a small one) of the Princess wearing the same dress and jewels - so I guess it was at the same event: the "Bal des nations" (ball of the nations) in Geneva in the 1990, a charity ball aimed at raising funds to build a shelter home for young girls and women in Bogota, Colombia.

    : Hello,
    :
    : while wandering on the net, I have found
    : this picture of Princess Marie-Thérèse of
    : Wurttemberg, Duchess of Montpensier, first
    : wife of Prince Henri (VII) of Orleans, Count
    : of Paris, current Head of the French Royal
    : House (their civil marriage ended in a
    : divorce in 1984, while their religious
    : marriage was annulled in 2009).
    :
    :
    :
    : Does anyone know this emerald necklace? Has
    : it already been seen on the Duchess? Do you
    : know/think if it is a Wurttemberg heirloom?
    : a loan?
    :
    : I do not know when this picture was taken
    : (judging from the Princess' look, I would
    : say late 1980s/1990s).
