I think she needs a new tiara. If Grand Duchess J-C isn't willing to part with the more impressive jewels, then Grand-Duke Henri should buy his wife a tiara to rival his mothers

Much agreed! She is now the Grand Duchess. I also think that the wedding congo belgian tiara should also be not exactly done with, but, that a new wedding tiara should imerge, maybe a new one for the future hereditary grand duchess?

I also have thought that Josephine Charlotte has maybe horded some of the other jewels---

don't know about that - the Luxembourg family doesn't seem to have that much jewellry - 5(?) tiaras - and some bracelets and necklaces which can be converted - and of those there are only two - the gigantic russian tiara and Josephine-Charlottes scroll tiara - which I can't remember having seen MariaTheresa wearing

That tiara is new? Some1 have a close up?

Well, a very wonderful pic from a emerald tiara

 

[Mia]

That emerald tiara is made by Chaumet and in Art Deco style. Beautiful tiara. I like these large coloured stones.

According to Danjel's site the tiara was acquired in the time of GD Charlotte's wedding to Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma.

Once again a tiara with a large diamond (below the emerald) which goes a bit wasted because of all the surrounding pavé setting of small melé. The large stone just doesn't stand out at all.

Here you can see several pictures of this very nice tiara:

Anyone know if GD Maria Teresa has ever worn any important Tiaras inherited from her mother-in-law GD Josephine-Charlotte?And also has she ever worn a brooch, or taken from a Tiara?

^so regal looking! I'm glad she finally wore it.

 

[GlitteringTiaras]

It is a beautiful tiara but to me it looks a bit big for her head. Still beautiful.

 

[Shadiyah2086]

Didn't that tiara belong to her mother the late Grandduchess? I'm really suprised that she wore it. I think its too big for her but she looks very regal though.

The Other Jewelry In the Hague Picture

The brooch looks like one of Empress Eugenie's courant floral bodice pieces. Is it?

Also what is the carat weight of the necklace?

The tear drop earrings are spectacular! Wow!

I have seen pictures of Grand Duchess Charlotte and Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte wearing the tiara.

Grand Duchess Charlotte was the mother of Grand Duke Jean and died in 1985. Charlotte ruled after her sister Marie-Adélaïde was forced to abdicate in 1919. Charlotte abdicated in 1964 in favour of her son, Jean, who had then been regent for three years. I included her picture from Worldroots.com.

Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte was the wife of Jean and the mother of Henri and died in 2005.

Also, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa has not worn other jewelry that belongs to the family. Henri's brother's wife Sybilla is the only other family member to wear the Belgian Diamond Tiara. Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte was given that tiara that as a wedding present from the people of Belgium when she married prince Jean in 1953.

I don't know the carats in the necklace, but I think the necklace is the Congo Diamond Necklace Tiara. I included a picture of Maria Teresa on her wedding day. The diamond necklace was a wedding gift from the Belgian colony of the Congo to Princess Josephine-Charlotte of Belgium when whe married Jean of Luxembourg. The necklace as a wedding tiara was also worn by.Archduchess Marie-Astrid of Austria, Princess Margaretha of Liechtenstein, and Maria Terese Mestre (Source is Royalty Danjel).

Maria Teresa Wearing Heirlooms

A few years ago, I saw some speculation in TRF/LTR that Charlotte was denying Maria Teresa access to jewelry.

 

[Margrethe II]

A few years ago, I saw some speculation in TRF/LTR that Charlotte was denying Maria Teresa access to jewelry.

Maria Theresa & the late Josephine-Charlotte didn't always share a cosy relationship...

I believe Maria Theresa gave an interiew expressing her hurt by comments made by her mother in-law regarding her Cuban background or something along those lines...maybe someone with a better knowledge of that interview could asist?

As for the jewelry...a situation as was seen with the Dowager Tsarina Maria Fyodorovna & Tsarina Alexandra Fyodorovna...

The Dowager Grand Duchess wanting to maintain her right to wear the jewels whilst the reigning Grand Ducal Consort (upon her hsubands accession) was now the rightful wearer of the pieces.

Not a nice situation I believe.

[HRHAmy]

Wow, I've never seen her wear this one before. It's a very beautiful tiara though and I think we a puffier hairstyle is would've looked even better. But bravo on the tiara, very pretty.

The left picture posted by Rere in #33 is almost southeast Asian or Indian looking. Very elaborate curves.

 

[bluebess]

Wow, what a gorgeous tiara and she looks wonderful. I do wish that she would wear this with a nice updo-to me it kind of looks like the tiara is sitting there very precariously with not much to hang on to.
