History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: The Orleans Sapphires

Such a beautiful stone sapphires are, no matter how many times this topic is discussed, I always feel like it is new to me. I feel though that in the future that museums may have to themselves auction off a set of jewels just to stay current in terms of finances and that is because people's likes and dislikes are going to change.

Hi guys,

I recently wrote an article on the Orleans Sapphires, a suite of Sapphires once owned by Queen Marie Amelie of the French -

https://thebeaumonde.org/the-orleans-sapphires/

I've just been re reading it and I realised the first set of Sapphires (The Montpensier Set) has only been pictured or painted on two ladies, Queen Marie Amelie and Marie-Thérèse of Württemberg.

Does anyone know of any other pictures or articles on this set, the one with the pearls?

Thanks

Sam
