I wrote an article on Princess Michael of Greece’s Van Cleef and Arpels Parure, HERE, to mark Prince Michael's 80th Birthday, and I was wondering if there was any confirmation on how or where she acquired the Parure (or her Wedding Tiara) or what stone is featured??



Also, I'd like a chance to discuss the jewels of Prince Michael's mother, Princess Françoise of Orléans, and what eventually became of them, like Queen Olga's Turquoise Parure, a replica of Romanov jewels, inherited by Prince Christopher "who got a semi-precious stone parure being a younger son" (in the words of Prince Michael) !

that also makes me wonder about the jewels inherited by Queen Olga's other children: King George II had gotten the Emeralds earlier, Prince Nicholas got the Ruby Parure, Prince George got the Pearl Stomacher, I wonder what Princess Maria or Prince Andrew got??
