Grand Duchess Stephanie – Emerald Necklace – Parure
Princess Aglaë Margarete Tatiana Mary of Baden, the niece of Margrave Max of Baden married in the summer of 2019, in Amorbach, Mr Wolf of Trotha.
The bride wore a Fleur de Lys diadem and the bridal gown of her mother, the Austrian Princess Marianne von Auersperg-Breunner, from 1967, when she married Prince Ludwig of Baden, the Margrave’s brother. The 200-year-old bridal veil also comes from Auersperg-Breunner’s estate.
The diadem is a surprise from the treassures of the Baden family, because it is probably the wedding present of the Emperor Franz-Joseph of Austria, from 1900, when the then Princess Marie – Luise of Hanover, Prince Max of Baden (Prince Maximilian Alexander Friedrich Wilhelm of Baden * 10 July 1867 † 6 November 1929, 1918 was the last Chancellor of the German Empire and the last heir to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Baden), married.
From the press at that time is to be read: Gmunden Austria, July 1900. The wedding gifts, received from Princess Marie Luise, were displayed in a small salon of Cumberland Castle on long, white-covered tables for inspection.
„Emperor Franz Joseph had sent a magnificent crown of large diamonds“ …. nothing was known, about it, for a long time.
Princess Marie-Luise, although often wore two large Fleur de Lys brooches studded with large diamonds, on her dress, as can be seen above in the picture, but the matching crown, was never seen in public.
Now a descendant of her, has solved the mystery, the tiara in the form of a diamond crown of five Fleur de Lys lilies, is still in the family, and property of the house Baden and will hopefully be seen more often now as tiara.
The court jeweler of Emperor Franz Joseph was most A.E Köchert , in this time, but also court jeweler Biedermann.
For me it looks like for another A.E. Köchert diamond tiara.
Grand Duchess Stephanie Imperial Emerald Necklace – Parure Royal Imperial Jewel History
An imperial emerald diamond necklace of the former House of Baden.
The imperial jeweller Nitot & Fils has made in 1806 this necklace of gold and silver.
Seven large briolett-cut emerald drops are hanging from this classical necklace of seven step-cut emeralds with a diamond cluster surround.
Small, single emeralds and diamonds are connecting on a length of 41 cm the emerald-clusters to a flexible garland – it is an ideal type of a necklace of the Napoléonic period.
The necklace is supplemented with a pair of matching pendant-earrings with tops of emeralds with a diamond cluster surround and drop-shaped pendants with a large free swinging briolett-cut emerald in its centres.
About 1820 the two briolett-cut emeralds of the back have been removed and are changed to two facetted emeralds. It might be, that the detached emeralds were given as a present or are left as a Napoléonic heirloom.
Garland Diamant Diadem der Grossherzogin Hilda von Baden | Garland Diamond Tiara of Grandduchess of Baden Grand Duchess Hilda of Baden’s Diamond Kokoshnik Tiara
Das wertvolle Diadem gehörte der letzten amtierenden Großherzogin Hilda von Baden, geborene von Nassau (1864 - 1952), der Frau des Großherzogs Friedrich II. von Baden (1857-1928), der bis zur Abschaffung der Monarchie im Jahr 1918 im Karlsruher Schloss residierte.
Stilistisch weist die Goldschmiedearbeit laut dem Museum Elemente des Klassizismus auf. Gold und Platin bilden einen Rahmen mit zwei Stegen, in den Girlanden und gegenläufige Wellenlinien eingepasst sind. Diese sind „à jour“ (nur am Rand, ohne Bodenplatte) gefassten Brillanten besetzt. Die Mitte wird von einer Raute mit einem Brillanten betont.
Die fein ziselierte Fassung ist mit 457 Altschliff-Brillanten und 225 Diamanten mit einem Totalgewicht von ca. 75 Karat besetzt. Die größten elf Steine wiegen zusätzlich ca. 15 Karat, davon der mittlere ca. 5 Karat. mehr zu der Historie Diadem>>
Es ist nicht bekannt, zu welchem Anlass das Diadem für die Großherzogin Hilda von Baden angefertigt wurde. Möglicherweise wurde es zum Regierungsantritt Friedrichs II. – des letzten badischen Großherzogs – im Jahr 1907 in Auftrag gegeben. Die aus Hessen stammende Großherzogin Hilda starb 1952 im südbadischen Badenweiler. Der jetzige Wert wird auf 1,2 Millionen € geschätzt.
Nachtrag vom Nov. 2020 -die Ermittlungen sind mittlerweile eingestellt, die Tiara ist wohl für immer verloren.
In April, the amazing diamond tiara of the last Grand Duchess Hilda of Baden is stolen from the Museum in Karlsruhe – the jewel of €1,2 Mio. is missing since 28th of April. The ornate tiara was stolen from a locked cabinet in the museum’s throne room. … history of the tiara>>
