Herzogin Luise von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld| Duchess Louise Wedding Jewels Royal History

Duchess Louise of Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld, Mother of Prince Albert the consort of Queen Victoria, in her silver wedding gown, when she married in 1817.

„……this afternoon there was great court and dinner.

During the festivities the bridal jewelry of the Duchess Louise was also on public display…. and a poem was written about it. … The princess’s bridal trousseau, whose value is estimated at 100 000 Thlr., was on public display in the castle on the 16th and 17th. Of rare beauty was the massive silver toilet with its golden contents, the velvet and silk richly embroidered dresses, the linen etc………….“

„The magnificent bridal jewelry, which was recently added by the princess aunt Grand Duchess Anna Feodorovna with a splendid brilliant necklace, was particularly outstanding.“

It could be the diamond belt and the border of diamond loops along the neckline. One counts, 17 entwined diamond rings and the other with 15 entwined smaller diamond ornaments.

An example of this, in the picture the link band of seven intertwined rings, set with approx. 722 diamonds in different historical cuts, as Peruzzi cut diamonds, Mazarin, pear shaped. Originally probably part of a tiara, which is also indicated by the mounting holes in the setting, which was sold a few years ago from a German ducal estate.

We see on the portrait of the Duchess Louise:
a diamond necklace with 9 drop pearls is still remarkable, as are the diamond and pearl earrings each with 3 large drop pearls. In addition, a diamond diadem of 14 visibly upright diamond ears and a diamond and pearl comb, behind it.

Der Kunstmaler Menzel wollte vor der Fertigstellung seines Gemäldes „Das Flötenkonzert von Sanssouci“ das Zimmer in Kerzenlicht sehen. Dies wurde ihm aber zur Zeit Friedrich Wilhelm IV nicht gewährt. Kaiser Wilhelm II, immer an prachtvollen Auftritten interessiert, ordnete zum 80. Geburtstag des Künstlers, nachdem er davon hörte, ein Kostümfest an, um den Wunsch von Menzel zu erfüllen.

Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria sollte die Prinzessin Amalia darstellen. Da nur wenig Zeit für die Vorbereitungen war, befürchtete die Kaiserin, das Kostüm könnte nicht fertig werden und der Kaiser damit verärgert sein.

Um die Wahrheit zu gestehen, hatte Auguste Viktoria niemals besser ausgesehen als in dem malerischen Kostüm der königlichen Aebtissin von Quedlinburg, obwohl sie sicher auf der Welt die Person ist, welche Amalia am wenigsten ähnlich ist, von welcher es zu jener Periode heißt: „ Daß sie so schön war wie ein Engel, und die fröhlichste und liebenswürdigste Königstochter, wie sie je in der Literatur beschrieben worden sei“.

Maria Antonia Duchess of Parma, Infanta of Portugal| Royal Jewel History

Maria Antonia Duchess of Parma, Infanta of Portugal. On 15 October 1884 at Schloss Fischorn, Maria Antonia married Robert I, Duke of Parma as his second wife. She was the mother of Empress Zita.⁣
She is pictured with one of my favorite diamond tiaras.⁣
Princess Irene of the Netherlands, did also wear the beautiful diamond Bourbon-Parma-Tiara, of the family of her husband. Some diamonds of the tiara are from the Duchess of Angoulême, daughter of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, she left France in 1830 to Austria. It is said that the tiara was made in Vienna – probably by the court jeweler Köchert, like an older tiara once owned by the Duchess built in style of the XIX siecle by the jeweller of the French crown. The centerpiece is changeable.⁣

This tiara belonged to the Bourbon-Parma family and had been deposed to a lawyer in Paris. Unfortunately it seems to have been lost actually since 1996. The Parma Tiara was trusted, at that time, to an attorney office in the late 90s by Princess Marie-Cécilie of Bourbon-Parma, while succession procedures took place. Mysteriously the tiara „got lost“ and the attorney office had to pay € 3.022.500 to the Bourbon-Parma family.⁣
