Hello,
Micaela, Countess of Paris, the second wife of the current Count of Paris, Head of the French Royal House (Orleanist claim), has been seen several times wearing a diamond necklace forming loop motifs, with a pearl drop pendant (and a pair of earrings possibly matching with the pendant).
Does anyone know the origin of this jewel? I do not think it is an Orleans heirloom, as I have only seen Micaela wearing it.
The Countess of Paris wore this necklace for the Monegasque wedding in July 2011:

On the picture above, we can see that this jewel is not a "full" necklace, encircling all around the neck, but that it is only worn at the front, and held at the back with a thin chain connected to both extremities of the jewels. Therefore, I wonder if this necklace could be worn as a tiara too?
We can have a slightly better (or at least closer) view on the following picture, taken in September 2000 in Paris:
