Thank you so much Pedro!! This picture of Infanta Dona Filipa is totally new to me.
All her jewels in the pic are unknown to me, but there's one jewel from her inheritance that is often worn by the Duchess of Braganza Dona Isabel, the leaf two pearl and diamond brooch
I have another picture of Dona Filipa wearing pearl stud earrings
On the Angelfire pages there's a pic of a gala event (can't remember wich one...Maria Pia of Savoy and Alexander of Yugouslavia's pre-wedding??) attended by the infanta wearing very nice jewels. The picture is wrongly identified as her sister Infanta Maria Adelaide (Infanta Maria Adelaide devoted her life to charity work in poor neighborhoods, she didn't favour atending these glamourous events; besides the lady in the pic does not look like Maria Adelaide, who had a rounder face). Infanta Filipa did seem to enjoy atending these events more than her sister. (All credits to the pic go to Angelfire site)
Dona Filipa wearing what seems like a three strand pearl necklace, with her very young nephew Duarte Pio, the present Duke of Braganza
It seems that the Infanta had a nice small collection of jewels at her disposal. I don't know the whereabouts of those pieces, with the exception of the one now worn by the Duchess. Perhaps the jewels were divided amongs her nieces and nephews when she passed away? (the Infanta did not marry nor had any children)
