Queen Victoria’s Turquoise Sévignés | Royal Jewels

The story of Queen Victoria’s private royal jewels:

Queen Victoria’s Turquoise Sévignés | Royal Jewels

Below the jeweled linked hands of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert is typical of the type of ‚love-token‘ painting created at this time, especially of the Royal pair.  The Queen wore a ring with an oval tourquoise and an bangle setted with round tourquoises.

Exhibition opens today  at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th birthday

 This brooch will be on display at the first of three special exhibitions, Fashioning a Reign: 90 Years of Style from The Queen’s Wardrobe, opens today (Thursday, 21 April) at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on the 90th birthday of Her Majesty The Queen.

The group of outfits, which chart Her Majesty’s life and reign from childhood to the present day, and represent family, official and ceremonial occasions, is the largest display of The Queen’s dress ever shown in Scotland.

For public appearances during childhood, Princess Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret often wore formal dress, such as the pink, princess-line coats and matching bonnets in the exhibition.  These outfits were worn by the Princesses, aged nine and five respectively, for a Service of Thanksgiving for the Silver Jubilee of their grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, at St Paul’s Cathedral on 6 May 1935. Princess Elizabeth also wore the coat for an official visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse with their parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937.

The largest exhibition of The Queen’s dress and accessories ever shown in Scotland,  at the Palace of Holyroodhouse will be followed by exhibitions at the Summer Opening of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace from 23 July 2016 and at Windsor Castle from 17 September 2016.  In total, around 150 outfits worn by The Queen will be presented across the three Palaces, many chosen because of their close association with the location>>.

Die Rubin Parure der Königin Victoria von England

Die Rubin Parure wurde noch von ihrem abgöttisch geliebten Ehemann Prinz Albert, ein Jahr vor seinem Tod entworfen und Königin Victoria von England zum Geschenk gemacht. Sie trug aber 10 Jahre nach seinem Tod keine Juwelen oder bunte Kleider. Erst bei der Hochzeit ihrer Tochter Louise liess sie sich dazu überreden und trug die Rubine.
Danach schenkte sie sie 1885 ihrer Tochter Prinzessin Beatrice von Battenberg zur Hochzeit. Und dann „beginnt“ das Geheimnis.
Ena, Königin Victoria Eugenie von Spanien– die Enkeltochter der Queen, wurde in den 1920igern mit den Rubinen abgebildet. 1937 war zwar Prinzessin Beatrice noch am Leben, aber nahm wegen  ihres hohen Alters nicht an der Krönung von König Georg VI teil.
Dafür aber ihre Schwiegertochter Irene Marchioness of Carisbrooke, die wiederum die Rubine von Schwiegermutter Prinzessin Beatrice zur Hochzeit bekam.
Aber 1933 entfernte sie die Rubine. Seither wurde das Erdbeerblatt Diadem nicht mehr gesehen – und auch das Collier „verschwand“ um diese Zeit.

1990 tauchte das Armband bei einer Versteigerung von Christies in St. Moritz auf und jetzt die dazugehörende Brosche mit einem ovalen Burma Rubin als Mittelpunkt, ein schmaler Rahmen aus Diamanten und einer grösseren mit 10 grossen Altschliffdiamanten eingefasst. Detailierte Beschreibung des Rubinschmucks – aus Erdbeerblättern ist oben über die Verlinkungen zu erfahren.
