That is the Savoy-Aosta Tiara, HERE, owned by the Archduchess of Austria-Este worn by her daughter-in-law, Princess Astrid of Belgium.
Impressive pictures Beth, thanks Maridje. Would you happen to know Beth anything about the lady in 04th pic and the tiara she is wearing. What about the last picture, what is the name of that tiara?
Regards,
Dave.
Maridje has sent in some information and photos of the various ladies wearing the emerald and diamond necklace given to Princess Helene as a wedding gift. (I hope I have given all the information correctly!) Thank you Maridje!
The necklace has remained with descendants of Princess Helene (Elena di Savoia, Duchess of Aosta, 1871-1951). Her eldest son, Amedo di Savoia, 3rd Duke of Aosta (1898-1942) married Anne d'Orleans (daughter of the Duc de Guise). The necklace was inherited by Princess Margherita di Savoia, the eldest daughter of Amedo di Savoia. Princess Margherita married Archduke Robert of Austria-Este, the second son of Emperor Charles and Empress Zita of Austria. In recent years the necklace has been worn by Princess Astrid of Belgium, wife of Archduke Lorenz, the eldest son of Margherita and Robert.
