Die Brosche ist in Russland aus Gold und Silber gefertigt und hat eine typische Verarbeitung und den Stil, der die Schmuckstücke so unvergleichlich prächtig macht.
Eine Seite der Fassungen ist offen und abgeflacht zum Rand, der gegenüberliegende Rand, ist eine scharfe Linie aus Edelmetall die den Schmuck rahmt.
Ein Halsband mit solchen Diamant-Schlaufen ist bekannt, dies gehörte Grossfürstin Elisabeth von Russland.

Kronprinzessin Cecilies Bild links, stammt aus dem Jahr 1950.
Sie hat die Diamant-Brosche Ihrer Schwiegertochter, Dorothea von Salviati (1907-1972) hinterlassen, die mit ihrem ältesten Sohn Prinz Wilhelm von Preussen verheiratet war.

Die Tochter von Prinz Wilhelm und Prinzessin Dorothea, Prinzessin Felicitas von Preussen, spätere Frau von Nostitz-Wallwitz, trug die Brosche zuletzt im Jahr 2004 in Potsdam, wie oben im Bild zu sehen.

Crown Princess Cecilie of Prussia | Jewels

The Russian diamond brooch, with diamonds and rose-cut diamonds approx 4.50-5.50ct, was a gift from Grand Duchess Marie of Russia (1840-1920) to her niece, the German Crown Princess Cecilie, born Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1886-1954).
The diamond pin is made of two large oval diamond loops. The occasion for this gift is no longer known. Marie, Grand Duchess Vladimir, also born Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, was a great lover of jewellery and had a tremendous jewellery collection.

The brooch of late nineteenth-century Russian design was made in Russia of gold and
silver and has the typical manufacture and the style that makes Imperial Russian jewels so incomparably magnificent. One side of the brooch is open and flattened to the edge, the opposite edge is a sharp line that frames the jewellery made of precious metals.

She left the diamond brooch to her daughter-in-law, Dorothea von Salviati (1907-1972), who was married to her eldest son, Prince William of Prussia.
In 2004, Princess Felicitas von Preussen, the daughter of Prince William and Princess Dorothea and the wife of Jorg Hartwig von Nostitz-Wallwitz, wore the brooch publicly in Potsdam 2004 as seen in the picture above.
In 2015, the diamond brooch was sold at auction for £6,875.

Empress Friedrich's Jewellery | Prussia Hohenzollern | Imperial Royal Marriage

In 1858 a royal wedding took place that was designed to align the fortunes of Europe's two most important powers, Great Britain and Germany's chief principality, Prussia.
The bride was Victoria, or “Vicky, Princess Royal” the oldest child of England's longest serving queen, Queen Victoria, and her husband, Prince Albert. The groom was Frederick, or “Fritz,” the son of King William of Prussia.
As the couple left St. James Chapel in London (not Berlin), they were serenaded by Mendelssohn's “Wedding March,” the first time it ever was played at a wedding.

For her wedding, Vicky wore a grown of white silk moiré over a petticoat flounced in lace and wreathed in sprays of orange blossom and myrtle. Her train was trimmed with white satin ribbons and lace. Her lace veil was held in place by a matching wreath, and she wore a diamond necklace, earrings, and brooch.

The Queen, who had chosen lilac silk moiré with a velvet train, wore the crown diamonds and a royal diadem of diamonds and pearls. Queen Victoria wore the George IV diadem.
An "european thinking" - the marriage was primarily the brainchild of Prince Albert, who dreamed that Great Britain and an eventually united Germany, under Prussian leadership, together would guide Europe into a future of liberalism, progress and prosperity.

For Fritz, Vicky ordered an engagement ring set with emerald exactly like the one her mother had given her father. Vicky asked her fiancé to wear it in the same way, on his little finger.  Empress Friedrich's Jewellery

When Elisabeth, Queen of Prussia, widow of Friedrich Wilhelm IV, herself died, she left her “magnificent” jewels to Vicky instead of to the Prussian crown, as was traditional with queens of Prussia. Vicky’s mother-in-law, Augusta, never forgave Vicky.
Augusta, who always resented the fact that her predecessor Queen Elisabeth had left her jewels to Vicky, took her revenge by leaving nothing to her daughter-in-law or Vicky’s daughters.
“The Empress left a very large fortune,” Vicky wrote Victoria. “Part goes to William, part to Henry … the largest part to Louise of Baden, & some to Vicky of Sweden… . I think what went to William, who does not want it, might have been parted amongst my 4 daughters & Henry’s son! But I did not expect we should be remembered.”
