Bolin Saphir-und Diamant-Collier und Romanov Sapphir Brosche von Mecklenburg-Schwerin

Am 1. September 1941 heiratete Prinz Friedrich Ferdinand zu Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg Herzogin Anastasia von Mecklenburg-Schwerin, die Tochter von Großherzog Friedrich Franz IV. von Mecklenburg-Schwerin und Prinzessin Alexandra von Hannover und Cumberland. Das Paar bekam vier Kinder, darunter ihre älteste Tochter, Prinzessin Elisabeth Marie Alexandra zu Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (geb. 1945).

Im Jahr 1975 vermählte sich Prinzessin Elisabeth mit Prinz Ferdinand Heinrich zu Ysenburg-Büdingen-Wächtersbach (1940–1989).

Anlässlich ihrer silbernen Hochzeit trug sie ein prachtvolles Saphir- und Diamant-Collier von Bolin, das einst ihrer G roßmutter Alexandra , Großherzogin Alexandra von Mecklenburg-Schwerin (geb. Prinzessin Alexandra von Hannover und Cumberland), geschenkt worden war. Das Collier war ein kostbares Familienerbstück, das die Großherzogin bei bedeutenden Anlässen trug, darunter auch bei der Hochzeit von Königin Ingrid von Dänemark im Jahr 1935.

Nun wird dieses historische Bolin-Saphir- und Diamant-Collier zusammen mit einer antiken Saphir- und Diamant-Brosche (um 1860) bei Christie’s in Genf im Juni 2025 versteigert.

Die Brosche, die einen oktagonalen Saphir mit alten und rosenförmig geschliffenen Diamanten zeigt, wiegt 22,4 Gramm und ist 5,1 cm lang. Ihr Design lässt auf eine mögliche Herkunft aus dem Besitz der Romanows schließen, die vermutlich an Großherzogin Alexandra vererbt wurde.

Interessanterweise wurde bereits ein Saphir- und Diamant-Diadem aus derselben Sammlung verkauft – ursprünglich ein Collier, das später zu einem Diadem, links im Bild und oben zu sehen, umgearbeitet wurde.

Prinzessin Elisabeth, die im Stammsitz ihrer Familie, Schloss Glücksburg, lebte, bzw Ihre Familie, hat sich entschieden, einige Stücke ihres ererbten Schmucks zu veräußern und bietet Sammlern damit einen seltenen Einblick in die prachtvolle Welt des europäischen Hochadels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Princess Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg granddaughter of Alexandra Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin| Important Sapphire and Diamond Necklace from her grand mother made by Bolin and large Sapphire and Diamond Brooch

 

A rare glimpse into the treasured collections of German and Russian nobility is offered this June as Christie's Geneva prepares to auction two significant sapphire and diamond jewels with direct provenance to the Grand Ducal House of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and the Ducal House of Schleswig-Holstein. These pieces connect pivotal figures like Grand Duchess Alexandra of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (née Princess of Hanover and Cumberland) and her granddaughter, Princess Elisabeth zu Ysenburg und Büdingen.

 

The Bolin Sapphire and Diamond Necklace


This magnificent necklace, crafted by the esteemed St. Petersburg jeweller Bolin around 1904 (Workmaster: Vasily Finikov), was originally commissioned for, or gifted to, Grand Duchess Alexandra, likely around the time of her marriage to Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV of tiaraMecklenburg-Schwerin. Grand Duchess Alexandra, whose mother-in-law was Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna of Russia, was seen -picture right, wearing this important piece at significant royal events, including the wedding celebrations of the future Queen Ingrid of Denmark.

The necklace passed to Alexandra's daughter, Duchess Anastasia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who married Friedrich Ferdinand, Hereditary Prince of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, on September 1, 1941. Their eldest daughter, Princess Elisabeth Marie Alexandra (born 1945), inherited the jewel. In a touching familial gesture, Princess Elisabeth wore this very necklace in 2000, marking her silver wedding anniversary with her late husband, Prince Ferdinand Heinrich zu Ysenburg und Büdingen (married 1975).

 

The Antique Sapphire and Diamond Brooch
Offered alongside the necklace is a stunning antique brooch, dating circa 1860. Centred around a significant octagonal-shaped sapphire and framed by old and rose-cut diamonds in a silver and gold setting, this piece exudes mid-19th-century grandeur. see above in the picture, worn by Princess Elisabeth of Ysenburg-Büdingen.
While its exact origins prior to Grand Duchess Alexandra are unrecorded, its style and quality strongly suggest it could be an earlier heirloom, possibly with Romanov connections inherited through Alexandra's well-connected Russian mother-in-law, Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna.


These jewels represent tangible links to European royal history.

It is noted that another significant family piece, a sapphire and diamond tiara (converted from a necklace), was sold previously. Princess Elisabeth zu Ysenburg und Büdingen, who resides at Glücksburg Castle, the ancestral home of her parents, is now parting with these select pieces from her family's heritage. Both the Bolin necklace and the antique brooch will be featured in Christie's Geneva auction in June 2025, offering collectors a unique opportunity to acquire jewels steeped in aristocratic provenance.
