Cambridge Sapphires | Royal Jewels of Princess Augusta Caroline parure of tiara, necklace, stomacher, earrings and two bracelets
from Queen Victoria’s dairy…I wore a dress & train of lilac & silver brocade, a Diadem of my diamond fringes & feathers.
Augusta, led by her Father & the King of Hanover, & followed by her 4 young Bridesmaids. She really looked very handsome in her veil of Brussels lace, her wreath of orange flowers & myrtle & a little diadem at the back of this. Her dress & train were of white & silver brocade, the skirt of the dress being trimmed with 3 deep flounces, of Brussels lace. She was calm & dignified throughout, but her voice was very inaudible when she made her responses. The ceremony was very fine & impressive, & as Albert remarked, good for all married people to hear. After all was over Augusta came up to kiss me & shake hands with Albert. Then the Bridal Procession passed out of the church.

In der Gallerie D’Apollon des Pariser Louvre befindet sich seit 1985 eine Kollektion von historischen Saphiren, die eine vielseitige Verbindung zur Krone Frankreichs haben. Der vordergründige Anlass des Louvre für den Ankauf, dürfte sicher gewesen sein, dass sich diese Saphire im ehemaligen Besitz des Hauses Orléans befanden.
Saphir Diamant Parure- Schmuck der Kaiserin Josephine von Frankreich
1821 bot sich für König Louis-Philippe die Gelegenheit des Ankaufs eines Diadems, eines Colliers, einem Paar Ohrgehängen und einer Brosche für seine Gemahlin Marie-Amélie, in deren Familie diese Saphire weiter vererbt worden sind, bis sie dann direkt an den Louvre gingen. Diese tadellose Provenienz legitimiert die Steine dazu, als nationales Kulturgut Frankreichs anerkannt worden zu sein.
Aber nicht nur das Haus Orléans ist im Besitz dieser Saphire gewesen, zuvor wurden sie schon von Hortense de Beauharnais getragen, die diese Steine bis zum Verkauf 1821 ihr Eigen nannte.
