The Orleans Sapphires Posted by Sam (The Beau Monde) on November 6, 2019, 2:03 am 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

Re: The Orleans Sapphires Posted by Beth on November 6, 2019, 4:37 am, in reply to "The Orleans Sapphires" Very interesting, thank you Sam! I think there was a discussion about the sapphire and pearl set on RJWMB a few years ago. Perhaps there might be some other images posted there?

Re: The Orleans Sapphires Posted by Dave on November 6, 2019, 9:20 am, in reply to "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. Regards, Dave.
