On 31 May 2011, Mathilde's younger sister Countess Hélène d'Udekem d'Acoz wore a pair of diamond and pearl earrings when she married Baron Nicolas Janssen at La Hulpe.
On 2 July 2011 Princess Mathilde wore the same earrings to the wedding ball of Prince Albert II of Monaco & Charlene Wittstock. She paired them with a matching necklace.
Both sisters wore pieces from the "Feuille" set, designed by Brussels jeweller Manalys.
So, could these be Hélène's personal jewellery?
Both pieces are from the jeweller Manalys, Brussels.

I would guess they belong to Hélène. A wedding present by her in-laws perhaps? Hélène's mother in law for sure loves jewellery. :D And somehow it would strike me as odd if Helene would borrow from a jeweller for such an important day in her life while she could easily ask her sisters for some earrings.
Thank you! I will add your info to the blog post.
