Lily Safra Posted by MarcA on September 1, 2019, 6:02 pm Is this Lily Safra wearing the Archduchess Isabella of Austria stomacher/brooch: https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/345792077616666417/

Yes Posted by Janet on September 1, 2019, 11:59 pm, in reply to "Lily Safra" They were sold as part of Mrs Safra's charitable auction a few years ago. Interestingly Joan Rivers who appears with her in your photograph, wore the necklace of the parure to an award show some years ago. Joan was a slight woman but even still you can appreciate the magnitude of the jewels, Archduchess Isabella was a much more imposing character and even she looks swamped by them. A link to some pictures can be found here. https://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1410244764.html Such a shame that a parure such as this was broken up.
