 The parure of opals and diamonds was a wedding gift of Her Majesty in the name of HRH the Prince Consort and the Queen to Princess Alexandra. It consisted of three brooches, a pair of earrings, a cross and a bracelet. The Prince Consort drew the designs for the jewels which were executed by Garrard and Co. Princess Alexandra wore the opal and diamond bracelet from this parure on her wedding day.

Prince Albert was very fond of opals, giving his wife an opal and diamond parure which included the Oriental Circlet tiara, which had its opals and later given to the wife of Prince Alfred, Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, as wedding gift.


The Prince of Wales gave a suite of opal-set jewellery to his eldest sister, Victoria, when she married the Crown Prince of Prussia in 1858.

Upon her marriage in 1862, Princess Alice received an opal and diamond suite from her late father consisting of a cross, two brooches and a pair of earrings which were made by Garrard and Co., which foreshadowed that given to Princess Alexandra.

…Die Ausstattung der Prinzessin Sophie an Juwelen hat den Werths eines Schatzes. Das Hauptstück derselben ist ein Schmuck aus Brillanten und Türkisen, bestehend aus Diadem, Brosche und Halsband. Das Diadem ist ein Geschenk des Kaisers.
Es ist sehr hochgearbeitet, die Zeichnung von graziöser Erfindung. Drei übereinander stehende Reihen von
Türkisen in sich vergrößerndem Maßstabe sind von den zierlichsten Arabesken in Brillanten umgeben. Die größten Türkise in Birnenform bilden krönende Spitzen, eingefaßt von großen Brillanten.
Nach den beiden Endseiten hin verkleinert sich das Diadem. Das Halsband ist in Form von Bandschleifen in Brillanten gearbeitet, die Knoten desselben von großen Türkisen gebildet. Von großem Werth und seltener Schönheit, namentlich der Türkise, ist das daranhängende Kreuz.

Es ist ein Erbstück der Englischen Königsfamilie. Nach einer Tradition soll es von der Königin Anna stammen, factisch war es im Besitz der Prinzessin Charlotte von Wales, der einzigen, früh verstorbenen Tochter Georg IV. Ihr Gemahl, der spätere König Leopold I. der Belgier, schenkte es der Königin Victoria, diese der Prinzess Royal und Kaiserin Friedrich gab es zum Brautschatz der Prinzessin Sophie, ebenso auch einen großen runden, von großen Brillanten umgebenen Türkis, der als Armband wie als Brosche getragen werden kann und mit welchem der Vater, der PrinceConsort, einst das Taufkleid seines ersten Kindes, der Princess Royal, geschmückt hatte.

Der Türkisschmuck wurde von der Prinzessin von Sparta nicht öffentlich getragen. Er ging vermutlich zurück nach England und dann an Königin Maud von Norwegen….
