A beautiful brooch with what looks to me an sapphire. Hoepfully not a loan.
The Wolfers Tiara and queen Fabiola’s aquamarine earrings?
I think these are her own aquamarine earrings.
Yes indeed , they are not these of Queen Fabiola and Queen Paola.
Queen Paola did not share her jewele yet.
The earrings are nice but I am disappointed again that no major jewels that belonged to Fabiola have made an appearance. I always cross my fingers before Mathilde appears at a gala event. I do wonder where so many of F's jewels ended up.

The Wolfers tiara is a major jewel if I'm not mistaken?
Thank you for your post, the two brooches appear to be different. Amongst other differences, the brooch worn by Fabiola had much larger stones than the one used by Mathilde.
No, she has alternated between the Wolfers and the Nine Provinces
But where are they? Nothing has been known about there whereabout almost as if they have disappeared.I heard from someone else that the jewels of Fabiola are not in the vault.

the Wolfers tiara Queen Mathilde received was the Present of the Belgian Nobiity to Queen Fabiola. It is a Belgian Present !
I hoped to see Princess Elisabeth wearing Queen Fabiola's Spanish tiara in Norway.
The King and the Queen bought a new tiara , that means no jewels from Fabiola are in the Vault.
I believe it is this brooch that was auctioned at Christies in 2019

I believe the brooch Mathilde is wearing matches one that was auctioned by Christies in 2019. Christies doesn't specify the previous owner just that it was property of a lady.

Queen Mathilde has built up a wonderful collection of jewels and only had one tiara when she became Duchess of Brabant!
Such a shame that there's not one jewel left from the 1st Belgian Queen ,Louise of Orléans!
In recent years, Mathilde has made some choice jewellery acquisitions. But given the state of the Belgiam jewel vault, she has a long way to go. I am hoping for a serious collet necklace sometime soon.
This might be a discussion that needs a separate thread, but what pieces do you think every queen/royal family should have? Aside from the obvious tiaras.
A serious collet necklace would make my list
