Archduchess Gisela's pearls Posted by Janet on December 31, 2019, 10:38 am After falling in love with her sister's Archduchess Marie Valerie's jewels auctioned last year, I have been looking for pictures of Archduchess Gisela's jewels. Thus far this is all I have found, look at the size of the pearls in the necklace!

Her daughter-in-law Posted by Janet on January 1, 2020, 9:32 pm, in reply to "Re: Archduchess Gisela's pearls" Archduchess Gisela had two sons, the younger Konrad married Princess Bona of Savoy. On her wedding day Princess Bona wore an interesting tiara, I am sure it is definitely a tiara, the additional sprigs either side confused me at first but I have concluded they are separate. Do people agree?
