Queen Mary's Turquoise Jewels, Parure with Tiara
In 1893 the Duke and Duchess of Teck had given the three
1850 turquoise brooches, a tiara, a necklace and earrings to their daughter,
as a wedding present. These six pieces are now part of the Gloucester
parure and over the years another drop necklace was added.
Princess May's parents gave her in addition to the turquoise pieces
a brooch, necklace, pendant, sprays for the hair, earrings and breast-pin.
Above in the picture we see the original version of the tiara worn by
the Queen consisting of turquoise and diamonds arranged as rococo scrolls
and a sunburst. Later Queen Mary found the composition too high, and
it was lowered by E. Wolff & Co. in August 1912. To compare the
old and new version see:
The turquoise parure and tiara was later
a wedding gift to her daughter-in-law the Duchess of Gloucester
The three brooches had originally been a confirmation
present in December 1850 to Queen Mary's mother.
Queen Mary wore the 3 brooches arranged as a stomacher
pinned at the corsage.
The diamond fringe necklace/tiara, worn as choker,
was another wedding present. It was given by Queen Victoria and
was worn by Princess Mary on her wedding day as a tiara. It was described
by The Times as a necklace of diamonds of the very finest lustre
and cutting.
