Queen Alexandra’s Aquamarine Cloak Clasp|Faberge Brooch |England Royal Jewel History
A previously undisclosed Fabergé Brooch emerged into public view when Queen Camilla adorned herself with a heritage piece of Queen Alexandra on the 11th of March, in celebration of Commonwealth Day. This remarkable piece revealed two portions of what are three components of a royal Fabergé Cloak Clasp.
The tradition of gifting, particularly for occasions such as birthdays and Easter, saw her receiving numerous presents from her sister, Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia. The Empress held a particular preference for the exquisite craftsmanship of Fabergé for such esteemed events.

Prinzessin Sophie von Preussen | Hochzeit | Kronprinzessin von Griechenland, Königin der Hellenen
…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….
