Thank You for sharing the details about the auction of her jewels. I am really intrigued by Princess Irene's collection, as she seems to have quite a lot of lovely pieces but doesn't seem to wear them too often.
A jewel consistently worn by the Princess from the 1950s up to recently is her Pendant, HERE, which is quite a substantial piece, and fits in with the Greek Royal Family's tradition of wearing pendants.
A few weeks ago, Pablo Milstein wrote about the pearl necklace. Since the piece was also worn by her aunt, Princess Katherine, like Queen Sophia’s Diamond Circle Tiara, I wonder if both pieces might have belonged to Princess Katherine and were bought by King Paul in the early 1960s.
Here is a better view of the turquoise earrings and a coordinating suite, worn to the Wedding of Prince Hans-Adam of Liechtenstein in 1967.
The Pearl and Diamond Necklace Tiara is quite a striking piece and if it still belongs to Princess Irene I hope she loans it or gives it to Crown Princess Marie Chantal, who no longer has a Tiara to wear, and this piece would suit her eclectic style.
With Princess Theodora having to share the Antique Corsage Tiara with Princess Tatiana and the new Princess Nina (who may buy a tiara of her own), I really hope we get to see more of Princess Irene's jewels in the next few years.
