Kent Festoon Diamond and Pearl Tiara Necklace | Royal Marriage Present Princess Louise, Duchess of Argylls bequests-
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 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.
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 Louiselived 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‘ jewellegacy 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.
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.
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.
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 as wedding gift.
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. From the Australian Women’s Weekly 6 Jan 1940, p2
Prinzessin Beatrice von Battenberg erhielt von Ihrer Mutter der Königin von England ein Fringe „Fransen“ Diadem aus Diamanten, das für Königin Victoria im Jahr 1866 gefertigt wurde. Es hatte eine Basis von Diamant Meander. Es war eine der wenigen Diademe, die Königin Victoria bis ins späte Alter trug, weil es leicht gearbeitet war und im Gegensatz zu den grossen Diademen ihr keine Kopfschmerzen bereitete. Zusammen mit grossen Diamant Ohrringen, einem Diamant-Halsband, mehreren kleineren Broschen und Diamant Ährenbroschen ist sie auf einem offiziellen Bild zum Kronjubiläum dargestellt.

Jewellery worn by The Queen for the Coronation
On Coronation Day, The Queen wore important diamond jewellery that both fitted the occasion and had strong historic references.
For the journey to Westminster Abbey, she wore the Diamond Diadem, which was designed and made by Rundell, Bridge & Rundell in 1820 for George IV’s coronation the following year.
The design incorporates the national emblems of the thistle, rose and shamrock, and includes 1,333 diamonds set in silver and gold.
The Coronation Necklace, R. & S. Garrard & Co., 1858 It has acquired its name from having been worn at the coronations of Queen Alexandra in 1901, Queen Mary in 1911, Queen Elizabeth in 1937 and Her Majesty The Queen in 1953.
Like almost all inherited royal jewellery, it has undergone complicated changes since it was originally made.
It now consists of 25 graduated cushion-cut brilliant diamonds set in silver with gold links, and a large pendant diamond of 22.48 metric carats, known as the Lahore Diamond.
