This is interesting. I did not know that the late Princess's mother was German!

Soraya's turquoise set. She was seen wearing this very often.

A new yahoo group has been created that has images of 100 of the late Princess Soraya's exquisite jewels that were put up for auction in May 2002. More pics are to be added later on.

Highly recommended! You just need to register and then access the "Photos" tab on the left.

What happen with her jewelry after her death?

All the jewelles which belong to Soraya were sold in an auction who took place in Paris the 29th and 30rd of may 2002 by the ministary of the auctionners BEAUSSANT LEFEVRE. The auction has been a great success and some of the somptuous jewelles had been sold a prize estupendous.

For those who are interessed, I have the catalogue and I can scan some pieces.

Wow! A ruby necklace in a similar setting as the turquoise one? That must be something to behold! I'll try finding a picture of it.

Adelaide, I'd be very grateful if you were to scan some pic's for us.

Thank you!

I think it was Soraya's influence in the last years of herlifethat brought back the fashion for wearing turquoise gems- She was often seen wearing a red evening gown with a turquoise choker- [gulubund] and matching earrings- I think Soraya did more to popularize this trend for the rediscovery of turquoise and its aesthetic appeal[Soraya had more than one set evidently] which is famous as a stone in Persia as she is famous for establishing- Mykonos- the Greek Island as a tourist epicenter after her divorce.

those are beautiful jewels especially the rubies shaped into a rose. would anyone know where the proceeds of the auction went to?

Her engagement ring is way too big for my taste! Though,I do love her ruby ring,and her emerald earrings and matching ring.

 

[Patra]

Oh I just love the engagement ring. I come from There-Is-No-Such-Thing-As-A-Diamond-Too-Big School! : )
