Smaragd Diamant Parure der englischen Königin Viktoria Königliche Smaragd Diamant Parure mit Smaragd Diadem, Smaragd Collier, Smaragd Brosche, Smaragd Ohrringen   :::::::::::::: Queen Victoria | Royal Diamond & Emerald Suite | Parure Tiara Collier with Emeralds | Royal Jewel History Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are famed – even among royal collectors - for their love of fine craftsmanship, together commissioning and purchasing some of the nineteenth century’s finest artworks as Holbein and Raphaels. But a very special passion of him was the jewels for his wife. Among the most personal of these treasures were the spectacular gifts the couple exchanged, from the moment of their engagement in 1839 and throughout their 21-year marriage. As part of Victoria Revealed, a dazzling display of gifts given by Albert to Victoria are shown at Kensington Palace for the first time. Comprising a magnificent diamond and emerald diadem, emerald necklace, earrings and brooch, this parure – or matching suite of jewels – showcases both the exquisite workmanship of nineteenth century goldsmiths, and Prince Albert’s own flair for design. Albert was fascinated by jewellery, and personally designed this dazzling headpiece for Victoria. Created by the Queen’s Jeweller, Joseph Kitching, which cost of 1150 the tiara is set with cushion-shaped diamonds and step-cut emeralds, and surmounted by a graduated row of 19 inverted pear-shaped emeralds, the largest of which weighs an astonishing 15 carats. As a testament to Albert’s own creative talents, the pieces he designed for Victoria now constitute the only known examples of a tiara design by a consort for his Queen. Victoria, clearly delighted with his gifts, wrote in her journal of her husband’s ‘wonderful taste’, and her delight at wearing this ‘lovely Diadem of diamonds and emeralds designed by my beloved Albert”. Presented to Victoria in 1845, the tiara provided both the centrepiece and finishing touch to an existing emerald suite. It was created to complement a necklace formed of nine oval emerald clusters, each set within a border of cushion-shaped diamonds, its accompanying pendant earrings and an impressive 20ct emerald and diamond brooch, all of which were gifts from Albert, and also on display at Kensington Palace. Below in the picture the Queen when she visit the Opera in Covent Garden in April 1855 with Empress Eugenie and Emperor Napoleon II. Victoria select the tiara - and an ealier version of the emerald ear-pendants with drops and a three piece diamond emerald stomacher, for Franz Xavier Winterhalter’s intimate 1846 painting of the royal family, for her son Prince Alfred’s christening - see below, when she paired them with the lace from her wedding dress and again for a striking Winterhalter portrait of 1859, which depicts the pieces in stunning detail - see above on top the whole suite. The emerald and diamond tiara was given in June 1893 from Queen Victoria to her daughter Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll. This is noted in her jewel inventory which describes the Emerald-Parure as: A diamond and emerald diadem, designed by Prince Albert and set by Kitching in 1845 A large necklace, composed of square emeralds and diamond borders A large brooch, with emerald and diamond border A pair of earrings with long emerald drops The Royal Collection believes Princess Louise probably left the tiara to one of the daughters of Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife Alexandra or Maud when she died in 1939. Princess Alexandra of Fife died in 1959 without any hers so her estate and title Duchess of Fife passed to her nephew James, Maud's son. Information provided by The Royal Collection. Touchingly, Victoria and Albert’s children and grandchildren continued the tradition of giving gifts of jewels to mark significant events, and a number of other glittering royal gifts join the display. As with Queen Victoria’s diamond and emerald parure, the kokosnhik tiara goes on display at Kensington Palace on long-term loan from the estate of the 3rd Duke of Fife. Alongside the Fife tiara - accepted by HM Government in lieu of Inheritance Tax and allocated to Historic Royal Palaces – these exquisite pieces will form part of the Victoria Revealed exhibition from 30 March 2018 a very worth visit to the Kensington Palace.
