Anything known about this emerald pendant worn by Princess Maria da Gloria of Orleans-Braganca?

It seems to be the same item indeed. The duchess of Segobe also wore a substantial brooch on the back of her dress. I did not find a photo but you can find it in the video(minute 4:54):
Isn't the duchess a member of the Brazilian royal family; or is this thread both for the Portuguese and Brazilian royal family jewels?
She is also wearing Queen Amelie's dog collar necklace, that can be converted in a tiara. It was left by the Queen to Dom Duarte.
I suppose the duchess will mostly wear tiaras abroad. Perhaps the insurance costs to travel with such a substantial piece may be too high? She did wear it in an official Portrait IIRC, but good to see it again!

Certainly a stunning and majestic tiara. Beautiful design and diamonds.
It was sold by the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family. RDavid has a post about the tiara here.
The Ajuda National Palace Museum tried to buy the tiara but the price went to high for them. I hope they are able to come to an agreement with the new owner so that it can be displayed in the museum.
