Schmuck der Grossherzogin von Luxemburg

Schmuckstücke, die die Prinzessin von Belgien zur Hochzeit 1953 mit dem Prinzen Jean, dem damals zukünftigen Großherzog von Luxemburg erhielt.
Darunter ist das exquisite Rubin Set, oben im Bild, bestehend aus einem Armband, ein Paar Ohrringen und einer Brosche in naturalistischer Blütenform des Pariser Juweliers ’ Van Cleef & Arpels’, - ein Geschenk ihres Vaters, dem belgischen König Leopold III.
In dem Ensemble wurden auffallend schöne Rubine verarbeitet. Das Haus VCA war sehr beliebt für grosse Juwelen und hat nur erstklassige Designer beschäftigt, die Blumen und Blüten aus Rubin hat der König des öfteren gewählt, ein Set in der angesageten invisible setting, unsichtbaren Fassung, nur viel grösser kaufte er bei VCA für seine 2.Frau Prinzessin Lilian.

Zu den Schmuckstücken, die einen historischen Bezug haben, gehört ein Perlen Choker, ebenfalls ein Hochzeitsgeschenk. Das Halsband war im Besitz von Königin Elisabeth von Belgien (1876-1965), die es von ihrer Tante, der letzten Königin von Neapel, die eine Schwester der Kaiserin Elisabeth (Sisi) von Österreich war, geerbt hat. Joséphine-Charlotte wird das Collier de Chien aus Perlen 1965 wiederum von ihr geerbt haben.

The eldest daughter of Leopold III, King of Belgium, and the legendary Queen Astrid, Princess Josephine-Charlotte (1927-2005), Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, elegantly carried out her role as the First Lady of Luxembourg by the side of Grand Duke Jean for 36 years.
Like her grandmother, Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, and her mother, Queen Astrid, the Grand Duchess was, behind her image of refinement, a woman who constantly worked for the benefit of children, family, health and culture.

Her Royal Highness, Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte of Luxembourg, Princess of Belgium born in Brussels on 11th October 1927, Princess Josephine-Charlotte and her brothers Baudouin and Albert, who successively became Kings of Belgium, were obliged to go into exile during the Second World War, while Leopold III decided to remain near his people.
On 9th April 1953, Josephine-Charlotte married to Prince Jean, the future Grand Duke of Luxembourg, the eldest son and heir of Grand Duchess Charlotte (1896-1985), and Prince Felix de Bourbon Parme (1893-1970).

The couple had five children: Princess Marie-Astrid (1954), Prince Henri (1955), the current Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Prince Jean (1957), Princess Margaretha (1957) and Prince Guillaume (1963). On 12th November 1964, Prince Jean succeeded Grand Duchess Charlotte who, after reigning for 45 years, gave up the crown in favour of her son. Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte assisted her husband in carrying out his activities until 2000, the year when Grand Duke Jean abdicated, after a reign of 36 years, in favour of his eldest son, Prince Henri.
