This truly astonishing pair of emerald earrings is listed on instagram as "An extraordinary pair of diamond and emerald earrings. They are a Royal gift from Queen Margherita of Italy to a Lady of title. SSEF wrote an appendix letter saying that the 9.30 and 8.60 carats emeralds “posses exceptional characteristics and merit special mention and appreciation” and “apart from their seize are highly matching in beautifully saturated colour and cutting style”. They come from the Colombian mining area of Muzo, Cosquez and Chivor and they show no indication of clarity modification. SSEF also states that “Assembling a matching pair of emeralds from Colombia of this size and quality con be considered rare and exceptional”"

The earrings are no longer listed on the firm's website, so I haven't got better photographs, but I tracked down a short video, which shows the superb quality of the stones,
I have contacted the jewellers to try and learn more about these regal emeralds. Let's hope they will see fit to answer...
The other jewel is an "Important floral tiara, in yellow gold and silver set with old-cut diamonds. Italy, XIXth cent. Of Noble provenance, by family tradition a gift from Queen Elena to her Dame of Honour"
It is apparently monted on a silver band, much like a proper bandeau. According to their instagram, the tiara has been for sale for while (since 2017).
The tiara is also visible in this video. It is definitely quite big.
