Wedding of Prince Jean Christophe Napoleon and Olympia d' Arco Z.. Posted by Maria Olivia on October 19, 2019, 10:19 pm Any idée about her bandeau tiara ?

Re: Princess Napoléon Tiara Posted by The Royal Watcher on October 20, 2019, 12:33 am, in reply to "Wedding of Prince Jean Christophe Napoleon and Olympia d' Arco Z.." Having recently published articles on the Savoy-Aosta Tiara, HERE, and the Austria-Este Tiara, HERE, I initially thought Countess Olympia was wearing the choker worn by her aunt, Archduchess Isabella on her wedding day, but this piece looks like a new (antique) acquisition (though it could also be a Napoléon/Bourbon/Habsburg/Savoy/Arco-Zinneberg Heirloom that we were unaware about)! I thought it was a lovely touch that she wore the sapphire and diamond earrings which were a wedding gift to Archduchess Maria Beatrice from her parents, and were also worn by Countess Anna last year! I wonder if there will be a Ball in the evening (hopefully with Tiaras), and if will get any pictures from that!

Re: Princess Napoléon Tiara UPDATE Posted by The Royal Watcher on October 20, 2019, 2:46 am, in reply to "Re: Princess Napoléon Tiara" UPDATE- Vincent Meylan has confirmed that my intuition was correct, and that 'The tiara, a diamond bandeau, is also coming from the bride’s mother’s family. It was worn as a necklace by her aunt, archduchess Isabelle d’Autriche Este on her own wedding day.' https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zkKj-ovxe/

Re: Princess Napoléon Tiara UPDATE Posted by Maridje on October 20, 2019, 3:23 am, in reply to "Re: Princess Napoléon Tiara UPDATE" Olympia wore the pendant earrings diamonds and sapphire like her mother MARIE BEATRICE D'AUTRICHE-ESTE - CTE RIPRAND VON UND ZU ARCO-ZINNEBERG - 1980 - WEDDING OLYMPIA CTESS VON UND ZU ARCO-ZINNEBERG Gorgeous dress and bride.

Re: Princess Napoléon - Engagement Ring Posted by Dave on October 23, 2019, 8:24 am, in reply to "Re: Princess Napoléon - Engagement Ring" Thanks OmerH and Maridje. The ring is beautiful I wonder if the single stone makes up the 40 carats or is it a combination of all the stones which I see in a design around the main stone. She will have to be so cautious with this ring, she cant be doing any kind of house work, I can imagine she will have to remove this piece on a regular if she does not want to scratch or bounce it. She'll have a job keeping this safe, no wonder some women who can afford very elaborate rings tend to go for very simple rings for all the reasons I mentioned above. The Queen of UK and Princess Victoria of Sweden have very small engagement rings for example and would wear the bigger guns for state occasions. Regards, Dave. Previous Message
