Royal Marriage of the King Zog of Albania

As Countess Geraldine Apponyi, referred to as „The White Rose of Hungary“ before her marriage to the 42-year old King in 1938, she was one of Europe’s great aristocratic beauties.

Geraldine Apponyi wrote to accept the invitation, and straight after Christmas 1937 she set off. The visit was a complete success; King Zog proposed marriage on New Year’s Day and, after a decent interval, on January 10 Geraldine accepted. Her guardian, Count Charles Apponyi, gave his consent to the match, and Geraldine was given the rank of Princess of Albania.

The marriage – a civil ceremony (King Zog was a Muslim, his bride a Roman Catholic) – took place in April of 1938.
Geraldine wore a pearl and diamante wedding dress which the King had ordered from Worth, in Paris, and orange blossom in her hair. She had six bridesmaids and the wedding cake, which she cut with her husband’s sabre, was 10 ft wide.

The wedding presents included a phaeton and four Lippizzaner horses from Admiral Horthy, the Regent of Hungary, and a scarlet supercharged Mercedes from Adolf Hitler. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy sent a bronze equestrian statue of a dragoon; Mussolini sent some copper vases.

A very interesting, story of Cartier and the Albanian Royal Wedding

In 1938 Jacques Cartier and the salesman Marcel Marson made a business trip to Albania, where the marriage of King Zog I and his Hungarian Queen, née Geraldine Apponyi, was being celebrated. They were startled by the contrast between the brilliant receptions in the Durazzo palace and the ‚unimaginable poverty in Tirana‘. The bride selected a few pieces of jewelry, while the King appraised the ‚Cumberland‘ [diamond] and waved a diamond magnifying glass about, but bought nothing. The trip would have ended in tragedy had Cartier and Marson flown back with five carefully packed jewel chests, for the plane crashed between Tirana and Brindisi. A large part of the jewels were burnt; the remainder turned up later on the black market in Rome and Naples. The accident, however, did not deter Cartier’s from returning to Albania in the autumn of the same year for the jubilee celebrations of the tenth year of the King’s reign. Marson took more than a hundred pieces, including the ‚Cumberland‘ again and a pair of diamond drops of 35.57 carats, on this new expedition.

The temperature in Tirana was 38 ºC, it was unthinkable to telephone Paris, and the telegraphic connection was constantly interrupted, with the result that the code devised expressly for this journey was quite useless: ANTELOPE = King Zog; EAGLE = the King wants; BEE = the king is favourably inclined; WEASEL = the King’s sister; PLUM = tiara; BANANA = gold; DATE = diamond ring; FIG = emerald ring. The King, who was urgently awaiting credits from Rome, changed his mind every day and finally made such a risible offer for the important stones that Marson turned his back on Albania with the philosophical comment“ ‚Cartier does not go a-begging.

Die Hochzeit Königs Zog von Albanien
Besonders Tirana war festlich beflaggt, ein Triumpfbogen wurde errichtet und ganz Albanien bereitete sich begeistert für die Hochzeit des Königs mit der Gräfin Geraldine Apponyi, vor.

Die Braut des Königs hat bekannt gegeben, dass alle Personen oder Vereinigungen, die beabsichten dem Königspaare Geschenke zu widmen, die hierfür vorgesehnen Beträge einem Fonds zur Errichtung einer Altersversorungsanstalt zu widmen. Trotzdem gab es natürlich Geschenke, wie des ungarischen Reichsverwesers, der einen komletten Lipizzaner Viererzug mit prachtvollem Wagen und Geschirren und ein Porzellanservice von Herend für 24 Personen überreichte.

Princess Louise’s bequests to favourite Royal pairs

The DUCHESS often wears diamond stars in her hair as on this occasion. Her new jewels include diamond daisies which she will probably wear the same way.

The Duchess of Kent inherits the major part of the late Princess Louise’s glorious jewels, which were the envy of every woman in England during the seventies.

The Duke of Kent is known to be the chief beneficiary under the will. The extent of the Kents‘ legacy is unknown, for Royal wills are secret, and not filed at Somerset House.

The Duke of Kent, one of the greatest favorites within the Royal Family, is doted on by his elder relatives. He was the favorite nephew of the late Princess Victoria, who bequeathed to him the lovely home, Coppins.

Now he inherits much of the fortune of his great-aunt, the late Princess Louise, whom he frequently visited, sitting for hours at her bedside in Kensington Palace.

The Duchess was also a favorite for her own charm, because she was the wife of the Princess‘ favorite, and partly because her family went through vicissitudes of which Princess Louise had seen so much.

Princess Louise Duchess of Argyll
Princess Louise Duchess of Argyll

Princess Louise lived so frugally at Kensington Palace during her last years that she must have used only a fraction of the £6000 she received annually through the Civil list pension.

Wealthy Princess
She inherited the bulk of lier has band’s £619,000 and also inherited largely from her mother, Queen Victoria. She was therefore one of the wealthiest of the Royal Family.

The Duchess‘ jewel legacy is a magnificent one. When princess Louise married the ninth Duke of Argyle (sic), Marquess of Lorne in 1871 at the end of the Franco-Prussian war, there followed one of the most brilliant periods.

She was the centre of a great social season, and her jewels were the cynosure of all eyes. These have not been worn for years and are mostly in the antique settings, which are again becoming first favorites in modern taste.

The Princess‘ jewel box contains a particularly fine collection of diamonds, pearls and opals. One beautiful necklace is of five large opals set around with brilliants, connected by a diamond chain.

The Duchess of Kent wearing the type of pearl necklace and earrings she is rarely seen without. She now inherits some superb jewels from the late Princess Louise.

A large drop-brooch has two fine opals set in brilliants, and a pair of opal and diamond earrings matches this.

Particularly lovely are the diamond daisies mounted as hairpins, which are understood to be included in the Duchess‘ Inheritance. She will probably wear these In her hair as diamond clips, for she is fond of wearing stars in her hair.

Other very valuable pieces in the collection include a tiara formed of a band of emeralds and diamonds, surmounted by a scrollwork in emeralds and diamonds, a gift from the former Duchess of Argyle.

There ls also a pendant of line sapphires, mounted with brilliants and pearls and finished with a pearl drop. The centre of this pendant unhooks to form a bracelet.

From one necklace of pearls and diamonds is suspended an oval locket, the centre of which is a large Oriental pearl surrounded by closely-set, large diamonds of great brilliancy.

This was a gift from the Clan Campbell and the Jewelled locket is suspended by an emerald sprig of bog myrtle, the Campbell badge, this called „the Lorne jewel“ .

Princess Louise, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. She had received the London-made jewels on 23 August 1871 as a gift from the Clan Campbell Marquis of Lorne, later the 9th Duke of Argyll. The necklace is made of 13 rectangles, set with a total of 190 diamonds, connected by thirteen pearls encircled with diamonds. The Locket consists of a large oriental pearl surrounded by a row of ten smaller diamonds which alternate with tem lozenge-shaped diamonds. The final part of the Jewel, the pear-shaped Pendant, is attached to the locket by a double sprig of bog myrtle, the Campbell plant badge, formed of emeralds. On the pendent is a representation of the Galley of Lorne in relief (symbolizing descent from the royal house of the Norse); this is composed of sapphires on a paving of diamonds.

Other lovely pieces include a two string pearl necklace valued at about £1000, a chased necklace with links of diamonds joined with pearls, and a beautiful bracelet in the shape of a coronet, centre of which is a large diamond surrounded by eight smaller diamonds. This is set in silver instead of gold, and would thus be mast fashionable to-day.

Princess Louise also had some beautiful silver and gold services, including a richly chased silver-gilt dessert set, a chased silver-gilt tea and coffee service, and a complete silver-gilt toilet set.

Diamonds for her birthday
The Duke of Kent’s gift to the Duchess of Kent on her 33rd birthday was a flat bracelet of flexible platinum links studded with large diamonds.

Die Königliche | Pfälzische Perle || Pearl of the Palatinate

Die Königliche | Pfälzische Perle

Nun ist sie wieder zu bewundern, die Pfälzische Perle. Nach einer Auszeit ist sie wieder in der Schatzkammer der Residenz München ausgestellt.

Le Palatinate | Die Pfaelzer Perle || Wittelsbacher Hausschatz Schatzkammer Residenz

Die Pfälzische Perle auch Pfälzisches Aug oder la perle Palatine genannt, wäre allein schon wegen ihrer Grösse von 12 x 13 mm und 12 Karat ein Kleinod. Aber das besondere ist ihre Farbgebung, die schwarze Kappe trägt sie wie ein Bischof seinen Pileolus -als Zeichen des Einzigartigen.

Der kristalline Körper zeigt zu gut Dreiviertel zartweißen Perlmuttschimmer, der Perlengrund jedoch ist ein schwarzes Rund wie mit einem Zirkel gezogen.
Röntgenuntersuchen haben bewiesen, dass die ungewöhnliche Perle von Natur aus so gewachsen ist und nicht gefärbt wurde.

La perle Palatine war schon im Besitz des Kurfürsten Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz 1568-1716, der sie vermutlich mittels des Amsterdamer Juweliers Jan Walrawn ankaufte.

Die schöne filigrane Fassung, in der sie sich jetzt befindet, wurde im Auftrag von Karl Theoder 1724-1799 vom Nürnberger Goldschmied Caspar Mayr 1794 angefertigt.
Elegant winden sich drei Schlangen mit Rubinaugen und tragen die birnenförmige Perle.
Dicht besetzt mit Diamanten sind Laub und Blüten, die ihr Postament schmücken. So präsentiert sie sich vortan im Schatz der bayrischen Herzöge und Könige.
Lord Twining der das bedeutende Buch über die Europäischen Kronjuwelen schrieb, stellte die Perle an den 2. Platz an bedeutenden Schmuckstücken in der Schatzkammer, nach dem Blaue Wittelsbacher Diamant

Pearl of the Palatinate

The second jewel of importance in the Wittelsbach Tresury is a black and white pearl known as the „Pearl of the Palatinate“ and also called the „Eye of Palatinate“

Pfaelzer Perle Schatzkammer Residenz München
Pfaelzer Perle Schatzkammer Residenz München

It was first appears in the Düsseldorf inventory of 1711 where it is described as decorating the cover of a box. It was known to have been in the possession of the Elector John William 1690-1716 and possibly it was bought by the Elector himself through the jeweller Jan Walrawn, who was much thought of by the Düsseldorfer court. It was brought from the Palatine Treasury in 1782.
The pearl is drop-shaped and weighs 12carats. It is set in a diamond ornamet pedestal of which is in the form of garland, on which rest three interwoven snakes, their heads making a cup-like setting for the pearl.
The pearl itself is an abromality, its rounded top beeing quite black but with good lustre. Black pearls are not uncommon.
