Draskovich von Trakostjan Tiara - princess of Rethy earrings

Posted by Hans on February 24, 2024, 5:42 am

The princess was once engaged with Count Peter of Draskovich von Trakostjan. Could the earrings be a gift she kept? The upperpart looks quite modern.

I don't understand what you are suggesting. Previous Message The princess was once engaged with Count Peter of Draskovich von Trakostjan. Could the earrings be a gift she kept? The upperpart looks quite modern.

The big emerald earrings were only worn by Lilian, never seen before. The upper-part of the earrings looks quite modern. Could it be a combination of a new upperpart and an older gift?

I think Hans is suggesting that the earrings could at some point be worn together with the Draskovich von Trakostjan Tiara. But for that to have happened - Lilian's earrings would have to be Draskovich von Trakostjan emeralds - and the emerald tiara would have to be a Draskovich von Trakostjan Tiara. The tiaras could also have been a Salzburg-Falkenberg tiara - and Lilian could have been gifted the emerald earrings from someone else

The tiara has 6 emeralds , why should Lilian receive two of them. Princess Lilian earrings must have been presents and sold .

The tiara now has 6 emeralds, as you can see on the photo, but I think Hans suggests that it originally had 8. Or Lillian's emerald earrings (if they are Draskovich von Traskostjan) have always been earrings and then worn together with the 6 emerald drop tiara

Indeed! That was my point of view. I found this on pinterest and the family must be very rich.
