Elisabeth „Sisi“ Empress of Austria | Wittelsbacher Jewellery and Royal Jewels
Entry into Vienna – 23 April – Her Royal Highnesses the Serenest Bride Princess Elisabeth of Wittelsbach and Duchess Louise in Bavaria. Her Royal Highness the Princess wore a round pink atlas dress with a white surface, a lace sash around her neck, a diadem of diamonds in her hair, surrounded by a wreath of white and red roses.
On the day of her marriage, April 24, 1854, Sisi wore a white silk dress Moire antique, with rich embroidery in gold and silver, and a long, gold-embroidered court train, which was fixed as an independent element over the dress.
Waist and sleeves were richly decorated with silver blondes. A precious veil of Brussels waved down from the beautiful hair of the most garish princess.
This train, at the top of the picture, was kept as a special memento of Sisi’s favourite daughter Archduchess Marie Valérie and could be purchased in 1989 from the descendants of the Archduchess for the wardrobe depot.
The wedding dress was donated after the wedding to the pilgrimage basilica Maria Taferl and is now exhibited in its treasure chamber in the form of a messcoat.
The golden wedding jewellery of Empress Elisabeth is a sumptuous floral wreath made of gold spun as hair jewellery, a chest buckle and two combs (the horn part of the combs can be seen in the upper picture), which were stuck into the hair behind the ear and thus also served as ear jewellery.
The bridal jewellery was donated by Prince Konrad of Bavaria to the pilgrimage chapel Altötting, the youngest son of Gisela and grandson of the empress, who mentioned that both his mother Gisela (on the occasion of her marriage to Leopold of Bavaria) and his grandmother Sisi (on 24 April 1854 in the Augustinian Church in Vienna) wore this bridal jewellery.
Unfortunately there is no clear wedding picture of the two marriages, so Elisabeth as the bride was not decorated with precious jewellery as one would have expected from an empress, but with this rather simple bridal wreath made of gold.
Her dowry amounted to 50,000 gulden in cash, and her dowry list also included jewellery, precious objects and jewellery, gold utensils, jewellery, silver and of course wardrobe worth 70,000 gulden, but was very modest for a future empress.
In addition there was a diamond tiara, an attention of her husband to the value of 100,000 gulden. In return, however, she was asked to sign a clause in her marriage contract stating that her Bavarian relatives were not entitled to the inheritance – which, according to tradition, the empress did hesitantly and weeping. „Sisis“ annual Apanage amounted to 100,000 gulden (that of the Empress Mother 50,000 gulden).
In the official festive programme, the bridal jewellery was wrongly described as follows: The bridal wreath, wound from fresh myrtle and orange blossom, was held by a splendid diamond tiara worn by Her Imperial Highness Archduchess Sophie on Her Majesty’s Day. On the shoulders precious brilliant-cut diamonds held the coat…..there was no coat on the pictures – but the train.
On the evening of 26 April, the Court Opera Theatre offered the magnificent sight of a glittering feast. The cream of all the awards that the higher circles of the Residence had received, and the tickets that were issued, was gathered in the evening and competed in the shine of diamonds and pearls, order stars and uniforms Her Majesty the Empress a light blue silk dress with white echarpe and a pink diamond-studded wreath in her hair.
Court Ball at the Wedding – The highest and most distinguished guests of Her Majesties were invited to this magnificent feast, which took place on 27 April in the Imperial and Royal Hall of Knights. The most beautiful wreath of our noble ladies adorned the ballroom, the wealth and splendour of the toilets, which shone with jewels and flowers, the manifold uniforms of the diplomatic corps embroidered with gold and silver, the civil servants and the generality, with the shining signs of their glory and their merits, offered a magnificent sight. Wherever the eye looked, brilliant-cut diamonds and precious stones of the most precious kind shone.
Sr. Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, wearing the English general’s uniform, was given the honour of leading Her Majesty the Empress by the arm into the hall, Her Majesty wearing a white moire dress that evening, the lap of which was littered with floral garlands and diamonds. A precious belt of diamonds wrapped around the waist.
Her Majesty the Empress opened the ball with the Duke of Cambridge. Her Majesty still rested to dance with several lords archduke and the prince Allersberg. Also Se. Majesty the Emperor rested to take lively antheil at the dance.

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.
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“
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.
