Central gem in Queen Elisabeth of The Belgians bandeau

Hello, does anyone know what this stone is that the queen cleverly attaches to her art deco tiara? Perhaps an aquamarine? Did it leave the family?

It's a aquamarine cluster, princess Marie-Gabrielle of Savoy, one of her grand-daughters, owns it but it seems IIRC it's been sold in auction some years ago. https://royalwatcherblog.com/2024/02/24/queen-elisabeth-of-belgiums-diamond-bandeau/ Previous Message Hello, does anyone know what this stone is that the queen cleverly attaches to her art deco tiara?

Ah, how interesting thank you Lorenzo. I assumed it was her art deco tiara worn low, did not know it was a flexible diamond bandeau!

I saw a Picture of Queen Elisabeth wearing the aquamarine as pendant . It was bigger than for the tiara?? Ah, how interesting thank you Lorenzo.
