Tiara with The Prussian Diamonds Jewels of The Royal House of Greece - made from a stomacher and Devante de Corsage of Princess Louise of Prussia The tiara was originally a diamond brooch – or a stomacher – with 27 pearls and six pendants with a poire pearl each. It can be found in a list of jewels Queen Victoria of Sweden inherited from her mother, Grand Duchess Luise of Baden, in 1923. In a codicil to her will the next year, Queen Victoria left this jewel to King Gustaf V and Queen Victoria’s Foundation, but in 1935 King Gustaf presented it – in the shape of a stomacher, a small brooch and a pair of earrings – to their granddaughter Ingrid when she married the future King Frederik IX of Denmark.

At the time, the press reported that the ornament was first commissioned by King Friedrich the Great of Prussia and had been worn by six queens – who must have been the Prussian queens Elisabeth Christine, Friederike Luise, Luise, Elisabeth and (Empress) Augusta and Queen Victoria of Sweden.

In 1964, Queen Ingrid had the stomacher turned into a tiara as an 18th birthday present to her youngest daughter, Anne-Marie, two and a half weeks before she married King Konstantinos II of the Hellenes. It has also been worn by her daughters Alexia and Theodora in addition to all the daughters-in-law.

The tiara’s provenance traces directly to Princess Louise of Prussia (1838–1923), the intellectual and philanthropic Grand Duchess of Baden, and her husband, Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden.

Their daughter, Victoria of Baden (1862–1930), became Queen of Sweden upon marrying King Gustaf V in 1881.

Victoria’s son, Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden, later married Princess Margaret of Connaught (1882–1920). Margaret, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of Britain, became Crown Princess of Sweden and mother of Ingrid of Sweden (later Queen Ingrid of Denmark). Thus, Victoria of Baden was not only Queen Ingrid’s grandmother but also the original link between the Prussian diamonds and the Swedish-Danish-Greek royal axis.

This lineage explains how the jewels passed from the dowry of Princess Louise of Prussia – Baden → her daughter Queen Victoria of Sweden → to Queen Ingrid (via her father, Gustaf VI Adolf) → and ultimately to Queen Anne-Marie of Greece.

The Prussian Diamonds Tiara

Princess Victoria of Baden, daughter of Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden and Princess Louise of Prussia, married Sweden’s King Gustaf V in 1881, uniting Prussian and Swedish royalty. Queen Victoria of Sweden inherited from her mother, in 1923. In her will , the swedish Queen Victoria left this jewel to King Gustaf V and Queen Victoria’s Foundation. but in 1935 King Gustaf presented it – in the shape of a stomacher, a small brooch and a pair of earrings – to their granddaughter Ingrid when she married the future King Frederik IX of Denmark.

Ein Schatz aus Bernstein

Der weltweit einzigartige Bernsteinkronleuchter, der im Schlossmuseum Oranienburg ausgestellt wird

amber chandelier prussia - könige von preussen - Bernsteinzimmer bernstein leuchter amber Chandelier royal kunstkammer — Amber Chandelier Prussia | Könige von Preußen – Bernsteinzimmer, Bernstein Leuchter Amber Chandeliers royal kunstkammer

Dieser atemberaubende Kronleuchter stammt aus Königsberg und wurde um 1650 hergestellt. Er besteht aus feinstem Bernstein und besitzt zwölf Kerzen, die ein warmes und magisches Licht erzeugen. Weltweit gibt es nur zwei weitere Kronleuchter dieser Art, und sie werden beide im Schloss Rosenborg in Kopenhagen aufbewahrt. Der Kronleuchter der SPSG ist jedoch das einzige Exemplar, dessen Arme vollständig aus dem kostbaren Bernstein gefertigt sind.

Ursprünglich gehörte der Kronleuchter zur Sammlung von Baron Mayer Amschel de Rothschild (1818–1874) und wurde 1977 von der West-Berliner Schlösserverwaltung bei einer Auktion bei Sotheby’s erworben. Um ihn in seinen heutigen Glanz zurückzuversetzen, wurden umfangreiche Restaurierungsmaßnahmen durchgeführt. Von 1983 bis 2001 hing der Kronleuchter im Schloss Charlottenburg, bevor er in den Depots der SPSG aufbewahrt wurde, bis er nun endlich im Schlossmuseum Oranienburg seinen verdienten Platz gefunden hat.

Der Bernsteinkronleuchter ist ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis der Bernsteintradition des Hauses Brandenburg-Preußen. In der Frühen Neuzeit wurden viele Kunstobjekte aus diesem seltenen Material gesammelt und verschenkt. Berühmt ist dabei das Bernsteinzimmer, das König Friedrich Wilhelm I. von Preußen (1688-1740) Zar Peter „dem Großen“ von Russland (1672-1725) überreichte. Auch Kronleuchter aus Bernstein waren hochgeschätzte Kunstwerke und wurden als diplomatische Geschenke überreicht.

Der Kronleuchter im Schlossmuseum Oranienburg wurde vom flämischen Messingkronleuchter des 17. Jahrhunderts inspiriert. Er besteht aus einer zentralen Eisenstange mit verschiedenen Segmenten, in die geschwungene Arme und Verzierungen eingefügt sind. Das Highlight ist eine heraldische Adlerfigur als Krönung. Beim Bernsteinkronleuchter wurden dieselben Elemente verwendet: Die Schaftelemente, die Mittelkugel und die große Abschlusskugel sind alle aus gebogenen Bernsteinplättchen gefertigt. Die Oberflächen sind kunstvoll verziert mit Reliefs von Ranken, Blättern, Früchten und Vögeln. Die Arme des Kronleuchters sind tierähnlich gestaltet und mit gravierten Schuppen verziert. Sie sind durch stilisierte Weinreben und transparenten Bernstein verbunden, auf dem Imperatoren-Köpfe, Halbfiguren, Vögel und Früchte prachtvoll dargestellt sind.

Die Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten Berlin-Brandenburg (SPSG) hat beschlossen, dieses kostbare Kunstwerk der Öffentlichkeit dauerhaft zugänglich zu machen.

His wife Princess Sophie wore it in the year 1964 at Athens. The brooch was made in 1910, the sketch of the brooch is from the Köchert Archive.

This brooch was not the wedding gift of the King and Queen of England – probably, it was the pendant which she wore, on this picture on a chain – a diamond brooch with tassel!

Smaragd Parure Diadem, Collier, Broschen, Armband und Ohrringe |Juwelen und Schmuck des Hauses Preussen, Hessen Geschenk der Kaiserin Friedrich

Emerald jewelry consisting of a diadem, a necklace, two bracelets, a brooch with a pendant, a brooch with three pendants, a brooch in the shape of a cross, a pair of earrings, a small pendant.

On Thursday the festivities for the marriage of Princess Margarethe began with a grand court before their Majesties; This is followed by a ball on the 20th, a family dinner on the 22nd, a gala dinner on the 23rd and a gala dinner at the Empress Friedrich’s on the 24th. M. The civil marriage will take place in the palace of the Empress Friedrich, the church wedding in the castle chapel.
Numerous high guests are expected in Berlin. The Russian heir to the throne meets on 23 d. My; the voyage of the King of Denmark still seems uncertain, because of the blocking of the crossing by ice.

On the evening before the marriage of her youngest daughter, the Empress Friedrich had brought together the large number of family members who had rushed here for the special day to a gala family dinner.
The main table, at which the distinguished guests dined, was set in the large, magnificent dining room, which was filled with art treasures. The tapestry of the walls, which bear large golden flowers and arabesques on a golden silk background, are here and there covered with long hanging tapestries; the narrow wall opposite the entrance is separated from the adjoining room by a large red velvet drapery and decorated with costly silver shields, bowls and dividers. Right at the entrance is a work of art, a silver anniversary present, a clock of great value that serves as a resting point for a delightful group of marbles.
The table itself bore the gift which Queen Victoria of England had given to the Emperor and Empress Frederick in front of their Majesties‘ seatssilver wedding , three showpieces made of solid silver, serving as candelabra. The middle main piece depicts a hunting procession, a lady on horseback pulling out to hunt, with two dogs on a leash, which trot past a thick tree trunk, from whose branches the candlesticks rise. The side pieces are groups of trees with candelabra. Graduating in size, a number of other candlesticks, only in silver, lined up at the two ends of the table. In between there were display devices, fruit and flower bowls.
Threads of green leaves wound their way around the individual implements over the snow-white linen.
The whole was outshined by a mighty chandelier.

The bridal couple, Prince Friedrich Karl von Hessen in uniform, ate at the center of the table.Princess Margarethe in a delicate yellow silk robe richly trimmed with yellow feathers. To the right of the bride sat the reigning Empress, next to her Landgrave Alexander Friedrich von Hessen, to the left of the bridegroom the Empress Friedrich, dressed entirely in black silk, and next to her the King of Saxony in the blue uniform of the 10th Dragoons.

The Emperor’s seat was next to his sister, Princess Margarethe, opposite between the Grand Duchess of Baden and the groom’s mother, Landgravine Anna von Hessen, whose table neighbors were the Grand Duke of Baden and the Duke of Edinburgh. Since not all 60 guests had space at the table, a second table was set in the adjoining small dining room.

Royal Oriental Circlet Tiara of Marie Grand Duchess of Russia, Princess of Great Britain and Ireland, Duchess of Edinburgh and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha |Wedding Present of Queen Victoria

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….

The forthcoming marriage of Princess Alexandrine of Prussia on December 9, 1865 and the exhibition of the shining „Trousseau“ that preceded it is the talk of the town at this time.

Her other uncle Emperor Wilhelm I gave her an opulent diamond necklace, a riviere of diamonds.

Hier reihte sich das Brautgeschenk des Königs, eine sogenannte „Riviere“- von aufsteigenden Diamanten

Die Kronprinzessin Cecilie notiert in Ihren Erinnerungen:

über die Herzogin Alexandrine, Tochter von Prinzessin Marianne.
Das weißlich graue Haar war über den Ohren in Flechten aufgesteckt, darüber wurden Tüllmützen mit Bändern getragen. Zum Abend wurden an Stelle der Flechten kleine leichte Löckchen angebracht, die ihr ein reizendes Aussehen verliehen. Bei feierlichen Gelegenheiten wurde auf die Tüllmütze ein großes Diamantdiadem gesetzt, das den Eindruck von Würde, den ihr ganzes Wesen ausstrahlte, noch vertieft.
