Too bad. :(
This Odescalchi tiara looks so grand, like most tiaras of Italian noble families, which just pop up from time to time.

Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies wore jewelry from Generoso Gioielli for her 18th birthday portraits. She is the daughter of the Duke of Castro, one of the claimants to the head of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. I got lucky identifying them because after searching around a bit with no luck I noticed the "Official Suppliers of the Royal House of Bourbon of the Two Sicilies" on the family's website and Generose Gioielli was one of them. I've never heard of them before so I certainly wasn't going to find it otherwise.
The tiara and earrings feature jasmine flowers and were created to celebrate the jewelers 50th anniversary last year. The tiara is convertible to a necklace and the flowers are set en tremblant.

Then the other jewelry is coral and diamonds set in rose and white gold.

The tiara is actually pretty nice compared to many newly made modern tiara (though I don't know why, it gives me JIF's jewel vibe), the earrings are lovely too. But that fake updo just doesn't suit neither her (age) nor the tiara, it looks like a hairstyle for pageant. Anyway I guess it's a loan from the jewellers too, just like the Chaumet flower tiara she previously wore.
The coral suite, I don't know, normally I like asymmetric jewels, I like gold jewels, I like coral jewels too, but it just does not work. The design looks a bit crafty.

Do the Castro's still have any historic pieces or were they all sold off?

The Castros own the Ancona pearl tiara, which used to belong to the Lydia, Duchess of Ancona, but the Ancona were members of the Savoy family. So historic, yes, but not from the Borbon family, but bought after the Savoia sold it. Then there is the quite beautiful ruby dragonfly tiara, but once again this is not inherited but bought for the current Duchess of Castro. I don't know about other jewels like necklaces, etc.

I actually had forgotten about that tiara and the duchess of Castro wore it to the wedding of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Mary Donaldson in 2004.
Not sure if its been worn since?

What a shame its so rarely seen as it is a quite beautiful piece to have.
The Duchess of Castro wore the Ruby Dragonfly Tiara at the 2011 Wedding Gala for Albert II and Princess Charlene

They also attend events in Monaco too but sadly tiara events there are so rare.

The tiara is indeed a Lindsay heirloom. The Countess has worn at as a necklace at the 21st Annual Tartan Day Celebration in 2013 - https://www.ross-ter.com/Tales/Tarta...13JM_1246.jpeg

That's a really pretty and delicate piece in both tiara and necklace form. It's not very big but the diamonds and pearls are actually quite substantial. Love how it go around the head like Sweden's Baden Fringe.
