Hello every one. I posted those informations on another board. But it seems I was not very clear as they have been used on a few blogs, (which is perfectly all right with me. ) but wrongly. About the Arco Zineberg jewels : a lot of them come from the Arco Zineberg family itself. During the XIX century that Bavarian family married really well in the Austrian imperial family and the royal Bavarian family. The diamonds stars were a gift from emperor Franz Joseph and empress Sissi to princess Gondelinde of Bavaria. It seems they were given to her as a birthday gift. I am not sure but it is very possible that one of them was a god parent of Gondelinde. The wedding diamond tiara was created for princess Anne of France, 3rd duchess of Aosta with diamond elements taken from some of her mother in law's jewels, i guess the big Savoie Aoste tiara given to princess Helene, 2nd duchess of Aosta was a bit difficult to wear at the end of 1930s. It now belongs to archduke Lorenz who has lent it to his niece. Now, the diamond and saphire (not emeralds as I read on a French blog) earrings the bride was wearing are the personal property of countess Arco and were a wedding gift from her own parents. The earrings the bride was wearing in the evening are diamond and turquoises and they are not the same as the ones she was wearing at church( as I read on the same blog) . Lastly the pearl necklace countess Arco, mother of the bride, was wearing is a wedding gift to countess Arco from her husband' grand mother, princess Gondelinde of Bavaria. Her pearl earrings also belong to her, they are Savoy Aosta heirlooms.
