Emeralds of the Duchess of Franco Posted by Maria Olivia on November 10, 2019, 12:01 am Bijoussimo , Huguette french Board wrote that the Duchess of Franco's emerald will be sold on November 27th at Christies. Does she have other jewels. I remember She and her Husband came at King Baudouin's Wedding and she wore a big tiara.

Re: Emeralds of the Duchess of Franco Posted by Maria Olivia on November 10, 2019, 8:02 pm, in reply to "Re: Emeralds of the Duchess of Franco" Thank you so much Maridge.. 1. The two first pictures of the Duchess of Franco are the Cartier necklace and earrings sold now on November 27th. 2. Her grand daughter wore the necklace pictures 3 and 4 . Are they the sellers (important Spanish Family ? ) or their Mother the former Duchess of Cadix. 3. The huge emerald nacklace worn by the then Duchess of Cadix is not her Mother's 4. Carmen 's Wedding tiara was stolen when she married Mr jean Marie Rossi and lived in Paris. 5. The Villaverde at King Baudouin's Wedding. Franco's daughter wore her Wedding tiara. 6. last picture Carmen then Duchess of Cadix wore the base of her Mother's tiara.
