"...Shortly after dinner on Wednesday, a simple ceremony took place at Lord Strathcona’s residence, being the presentation to Their Highnesses of mementos of their visit to Montreal, by members of the Citizens’ Reception Committee. That to the Duchess, which was presented by Lady Strathcona and Mrs. Drummond, consisted of a spray of maple leaves wrought in gold and enamel set with diamonds and pearls.
An album of Canadian views accompanied this gift, and a richly illuminated address..."

"The Enamel Maple Leaves Brooch is a corsage of six maple leaves made from blended colors of enamel from green to pink. The leaves are tipped in diamonds and their stems come together to end with a single pearl in a diamond setting."

"The jewel . . .is typical of Canada, whose emblem is the maple leaf, just as the shamrock is the emblem of Ireland."

"The jewel consists of a diamond spray or corsage pin. The design consists of a spray of six maple leaves mounted with diamonds. No two of the maple leaves are alike in form and colour. They are of solid eighteen-carat gold, beautifully enamelled in delightfully delicate tones."

In a masterly display of diplomatic dressing the then Duchess wore the maple leaf brooch pinned on the side of her corsage when attending a dinner at Government House, Winnipeg, when the royal couple visited the city as part of their tour. — Duchess of Cornwall and York, later Queen Mary| Montreal six maple leaf brooch corsages with diamonds

über Königlichen Schmuck und deren Geschichte!

Als ich 2016 die ersten Bilder der Herzogin von Kent entdeckte und die erste Magazinseite entstand, wusste ich noch nicht, dass es sich um eine der wichtigen Schmuckstücke der Liste aus dem Verkauf der Romanov Juwelen von Zarinwitwe Maria Alexandrovna handelt.
1928, wurden sie nach einer Schätzung des Juweliers Hennell London von ihrer Tochter Grossfürstin Xenia, zum Verkauf angeboten. Es war eines der kostbaren Juwelenbroschen von Maria Feodorovna, der privaten Romanov Juwelen, keine Kronjuwelen. Ein weiters Schmuck-Rätsel ist gelöst.

When I discovered the first pictures of the Duchess of Kent in 2016 and the first magazine page was created, I did not yet know that this was one of the important jewels on the list from the sale of the Romanov jewels by Dowager Empress Maria Alexandrovna.
In 1928, according to an estimate by the jeweller Hennell London, they were offered for sale by their daughter Grand Duchess Xenia. It was one of the precious jewel brooches of Maria Feodorovna, the private Romanov jewels, not crown jewels. Another jewelry puzzle is solved.

In August 1909, Tsar Nicholas II and his family made their last visit to England. They attended the annual regatta at Cowes on the Isle of Wight, and the royal families dined together on each other’s yachts. A local photographer was commissioned to record the occasion and produced a double portrait of the Prince of Wales (later King George V) and his cousin Emperor Nicholas, which shows the strong family resemblance.
During the visit the Princess of Wales (later Queen Mary) was given a jewel as present, see above in the picture, a diamond-set Fabergé brooch made from a Siberian amethyst, a stone famous for its intense purple hue.

Grand Duchess Stephanie Imperial Emerald Necklace - Parure Royal Imperial Jewel History An imperial emerald diamond necklace of the former House of Baden. The imperial jeweller Nitot & Fils has made in 1806 this necklace of gold and silver. Seven large briolett-cut emerald drops are hanging from this classical necklace of seven step-cut emeralds with a diamond cluster surround. Small, single emeralds and diamonds are connecting on a length of 41 cm the emerald-clusters to a flexible garland – it is an ideal type of a necklace of the Napoléonic period. The necklace is supplemented with a pair of matching pendant-earrings with tops of emeralds with a diamond cluster surround and drop-shaped pendants with a large free swinging briolett-cut emerald in its centres. About 1820 the two briolett-cut emeralds of the back have been removed and are changed to two facetted emeralds. It might be, that the detached emeralds were given as a present or are left as a Napoléonic heirloom. — Grand Duchess Stephanie Imperial Emerald Necklace – Parure Royal Imperial Jewel History An imperial emerald diamond necklace of the former House of Baden.
