I actually meant the pieces of the Savoy family's jewels that were auctioned throughout the 1980s...but yes, Belgium would have a fine collection of jewels were it not for their refusal to create a state foundation or such.

I hope some members of other royal families buy these fantastic jewels.

I went through the entire lot, and I just could not believe what I was seeing-what a shame the family has to sell their jewels--

Considering these jewels are property of Princess Marie-Gabriella only (and she does have some other items too, if I recall correctly), I am wondering if the other two daughters of King Umberto received any jewelry from their mother. It seems that MG is selling the items that came from Belgium. I wonder if she received any Italian items too or that those are safely in a family trust headed by the Prince of Napels.

I am sick! Hopefully those jewels will find a new owner worthy of their splendor and history.

Well, IMHO the only two persons worthy enough of wearing a parure from Empress Carlota of Mexico are Queen Paola and CP Mathilde of Belgium. Sadly the King preferred to buy a new yacht over a new tiara.

Are there any pictures of any ladies wearing the Empress Josephine diamond tiara?

Interesting that her siblings didn't want the items and the tax bill that went with them, and that she's only keeping some books and a desk. |
