Cartier Halo Diamond Tiara Rani Shanker | Nepal Royal Family | Jewel History

Infanta Maria Francisca of Portugal, Duchess of Coimbra, wore an historic emerald brooch in her hair for the dinner following her wedding to Duarte de Sousa Araújo Martins at her parent’s home in Sintra, Portugal on 7 October 2023.
The important emerald and diamond brooch belonged to her grandmother, Princess Maria Francisca of Orleans-Braganza, above in the picture. It was a wedding gift in October 1942 when she married in PETRÓPOLIS – BRASILIA, from her family.
The Emerald brooch was now, without the two pear shaped pendants.

Infanta Maria Francisca, the Duchess of Coimbra, also wore a pair of emerald and diamond earrings for the reception that belonged to her Princess Maria Francisca of Orleans.
The diamond from her engagement ring was taken from these earrings and the groom replaced it and one on the other earring with emeralds, see the details in the story before.
The historical tiara of Amelia of Orleans, last queen of Portugal,
Infanta Maria Francisca de Bragança, Duchess of Coimbra, has married lawyer Duarte de Sousa Araújo Martins in 2023 and wore Queen Amalie’s Diamond Tiara. The bridal gown, a spectacular princess dress, was made by Luzia do Nascimento.
As the second daughter of the pretender to the Portuguese throne, Infanta María Francisca was expected to shine with an ornate family tiara on her head.
The infanta has finally walked to the altar with a creation that dates back to 1887 and was made for Amelia de Orleans with 800 diamonds set in silver and gold, fringes,fleur-de-lis motifs and several rows of diamond necklaces. The previous year, Amelia had married the heir to the Portuguese throne, Prince Charles, Duke of Braganza, becoming the new Duchess of Braganza, so the Portuguese Royal Family ordered the house Leitão & Irmão, named Official Jewelers of the Portuguese crown for King Louis I, the making of a luxurious tiara. In fact, it was the King himself who chose his daughter-in-law’s design, which is why she baptized it “le diadème Dom Luis.”

Maria Francisca wore the same solitär diamond earrings that were worn by her mother on her wedding day. They were a gift from the Duchess of Braganza’s mother, Raquel Pinheiro de Castro Curvello.



The first wife of Prinz Johann Georg von Sachsen – Herzogin Maria Isabella von Württemberg on her wedding day.

This magnificent piece was subsequently passed down to her nephew, Albrecht Eugen, Duke of Württemberg (1895-1954).
Above we see his daughter, Duchess Sophie of Württemberg wearing the tiara in the 1960s and she wore it again in the 1990s.
It will be offered from Sotheby’s, at auction in the year 2023 „Vienna 1900 An Imperial and Royal Collection“ at Geneve.
It was sold for 762,000 CHF
The royal and imperial collection resurfaces, astonishingly pristine and with all its pieces in their original design, for the first time in nearly a century, having only been recently discovered hidden away in a bank vault.


In 1923, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, the future Duchess of York, received an array of splendid gifts for her wedding. Among these was a remarkable sapphire and diamond brooch.
This exquisite piece was bestowed upon her by her husband’s aunt, Princess Louise, the Princess Royal (daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra), and Princess Louise’s daughter, Maud.
