the main jewels remained in the vault of the Bank of Italy and there is or was a court case about them.

Umberto and Marie-Jose did divide up the jewels they did take with them so Vittorio-Emanuele did not get them all, his four sisters each received a share. After her divorce from Robert de Balkany princess Maria Gabriella ended up selling a number of her jewels that were mainly from the Belgian inheritance of her mother. I think I remember reading that the youngest sister Maria Beatrice also sold several pieces but I don't really know what pieces she is supposed to have sold.

Maria Pia's wedding tiara was one that came from Queen Margarita and was sold into a collection.

I don't remember seeing any of her descendants wearing Italian jewels. Her oldest set of twins are men and they are unmarried so no chance for any jewels there. Her younger set of twins include a daughter who I've not seen in any tiara of her mother's line and her brother is in his second marriage. The first only lasted a few years and he and his current wife live a rather quiet life. They don't seem to attend many grand events.

The second set of twins has the complication that legally their father was their mother's first husband making them members of the Serbian Royal House but that most likely their biological father was their mother's second husband a born prince of Bourbon-Parma.

Johan , we never saw Princess Maria Pia only daughter wearing a tiara. You are right for the second set of twins.For the first set Prince Dimitri is a jewel designer and is very close to Prince Emanuele.
For Prince Vittorio Emanuele ,Princess Marina was seen with great jewels but could not wear them as a Princess. I suppose she will give them to her two grand daughters.
Princess Marie Gabrielle sold family jewels and has a lot of critics among the Savoie; We saw her daughter with a Wedding tiara and now her grand daugter with part of Queen Marie José necklace.
For Princess Marie Beatrice , no show up since a very long time.
Now I should have more informations about Princess Marina jewels , who are still in the famlly . Thanks

She has at least two tiara's the Musy tiara created for the dowager Queen Margarita and inherited by Umberto who gave it to his bride to wear at their wedding.
The second tiara is part of the pink topaz parure. That is a complete set and once belonged to princess Elisabeth of Saxony the mother of Queen Margarita.

The longer chain of the sapphire necklace has been seen on her. She also has a beautiful set of emerald jewels among them a large brooch sometimes used as a clasp as well as earrings.

She also wears a number of pearls im just not sure if the have a royal provenance or not. Queen Margarita was called the queen of pearls so some of them may have come from her. We also know that her late husband's Belgian grandmother Queen Elisabeth wore pearls a lot.
