Grand Duchess Stephanie Imperial Emerald Necklace – Parure Royal Imperial Jewel History
An imperial emerald diamond necklace of the former House of Baden.
The imperial jeweller Nitot & Fils has made in 1806 this necklace of gold and silver.
Seven large briolett-cut emerald drops are hanging from this classical necklace of seven step-cut emeralds with a diamond cluster surround.
Small, single emeralds and diamonds are connecting on a length of 41 cm the emerald-clusters to a flexible garland – it is an ideal type of a necklace of the Napoléonic period.
The necklace is supplemented with a pair of matching pendant-earrings with tops of emeralds with a diamond cluster surround and drop-shaped pendants with a large free swinging briolett-cut emerald in its centres.
About 1820 the two briolett-cut emeralds of the back have been removed and are changed to two facetted emeralds. It might be, that the detached emeralds were given as a present or are left as a Napoléonic heirloom.
