Jewels for sale: Worthy additions to royal collections


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
I just read that both Sotheby's and Christie's are jointly evaluating the collection of jewels previously owned by Imelda Marcos. The collection is comprised of 700 lots (!) and is all fine jewels, a number with historical royal provenance. If this all comes to auction, it will surpass the collections of Elizabeth Taylor, Heidi Horten and The Duchess of Windsor.
 
Queen Ena's emerald brooch is going on Auction next month.

That would be a great 20th wedding anniversary present to Queen Letizia!

(#145) A PRINCESS'S SILVER-GILT CORONET OR CIRCLET, WORN AT THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE II AND QUEEN CAROLINE, WESTMINSTER, 11 OCTOBER 1727, Benjamin Pyne, London, 1727
 

Discover this gorgeous tiara on Instagram! Maybe Leonor or Elisabeth? (I wish they get some coloured stones though) Eleonore or Isabella as their 18th birthday tiara?
 
I can't see the Spanish RF buying a tiara for Leonor but would be a nice tiara for Eleonore or Isabella.

Lovely tiara.

It would be a great potential addition to either the Danish or Belgian vaults. It can stay with main line of either of these royal houses, to be lent out as appropriate, to relevant family members. The tiara is substantial enough to be used by either of Mary or Mathilde themselves.

I could see queen Mathilde wearing this tiara!
 
Gorgeous tiara from Sotheby's!


It gives me an impression of the hybrid of GGBI and Portimore. I can imagine it on Mathilde and Mette-Marit.
 
Yes I can definitely see a resemblance to the Poltimore Tiara!
 
Might any of our royal ladies be looking, a few nice peices coming up for auction at Sotheby's. To me, they are all good value for what they are.

Its quite possible some of these may have attracted the eyes of the Belgian queen who has been replenishing the paltry Belgian jewel chest after many decades of neglect and mismanagement.

I would hope so!

Lovely!

That's a really beautiful brooch and very much Queen Mathilde style too!
 
Some lovely rubies that would work well for the Belgian RF

I've seen this one many times but it looks much more substantial when being worn! Not many tiara-necklace could look great in both forms and it actually works in both forms! As a necklace it looks gorgeous. Yes, ruby and pearl, it would be lovely to be worn by the Belgian ladies.
 
What princess/queen would purchase this diamond tiara?
A really diamond elegant tiara but the price is a tad steep,would be a lovely addition to the Belgian or Spanish jewel vault but I can't see Felipe VI buying jewels that his wife won't wear!
 

Gorgeous necklace, I'm wondering could it be flipped up and become a tiara.
