The diamond brooch is quite nice. I wonder whether it is by Mikimoto, which is said to be an exclusive supplier of fine jewellery to the Imperial family.

And Princess Masako's filigree brooch is very delicate yet grand in size. Beautiful!

I've always considered CP Masako's wedding Tiara as one of my favorites!

The imperial family of Japan always wears pearls so nicely, IMO. I especially love this brooch!

Yes, the brooch is very delicate and appropriate for a young woman.
The Princess Tsuguko of Takamado, the eldest daughter of the Dowager Princess Takamado, has interesting pearl jewels too. This photo is from New Year 2009 celebrations. I think the choker is stylish, and it suits 25 years old princess very much.

Are all their jewels diamonds or diamonds & pearls? No sapphires, rubies, emeralds?

Now that's an intriguing design and looks well-suited for conversion to a tiara. And Princess Mako's earrings look like they match her brooch. I have a similar strand of pearls as she does, but something tells me her necklace is more valuable than mine!

All official parures which we can see now are diamonds & pearls only.
The official jewels were commishioned by Emperor Meiji, and after his death by his daughter-in-law Empress Teimei in Paris in 1910-1920s.
The Crown jewels of British and German empires were an inspiration for the Japanese Imperial family's choice.
Empress Teimei was 'power behind the throne' during reign of her husband Emperor Taisho and her son Emperor Showa.
The personal collections of the members of JIF have items with different precious stones.

A row of sparkling royal glitter one after the after; an amazing sight and a feast for the eyes. Thank you for the photos, Kasumi. I'm really surprised that four of the ladies are dressed in brighter colors, a variation from the white gowns that are always de rigueur at these events.
