Man sagt, Alexandra hatte sich unbemerkt, in ihrem privaten Safe, eine der grössten privaten Schmucksammlungen aufgebaut. Für sich selbst kaufte sie nichts, liess sich aber von allen Schmuck schenken, vor allem der Zar liebte es seine Frau mit Schmuck zu beschenken, er mochte wenn sie traditionell russisch mit Juwelen dekoriert war.
Die Zarin stammte aus einem regierenden, jedoch keineswegs sehr reichen Haus Hessen und ohne erheblichem eigenen Vermögen, sie wollte für sich und ihre Töchter ein Polster schafften, das sie jederzeit verkaufen konnte. Eine Reserve für schlechtere Tage, dazu gehörte wohl auch die oben abgebildete Parure. Das Diadem wurde von Wartski im Jahr 1920 gekauft und war aus Platin mit Diamanten und Aquamarinen als Kokoschnik um 1900 gearbeitet.


Im Jahr 1982 wurde in St Moritz ein identisches Set bei Sothebys angeboten, die Beschreibung war: Henell ?! als Provinienz - ( wobei der Hersteller des Orginalsets, die Firma Kreuter aus Hanau gewesen ist. Im Archiv der nicht mehr existierenden Firma, sind die orginal Entwürfe noch vorhanden. (eventuell hat Henell um 1980 ein Halsband und die Ohringe dazu angefertigt, das Halsband könnte jetzt wohl als 2.Tiara in Gebrauch sein- wobei die Schräge der Anordnung dieses Schmucks, der Tiara nicht stimmig ist- im Gegensatz zu dem Orginaldiadem- Bernadotte Hochzeit in Italien 2018 )

Tiara, bestehend aus einer Serie von rechteckigen Aquamarinen im Treppenschliff - der Grösse nach verlaufend geschliffen und angeordnet. Umgeben von Diamantrosen. Darüber eine Reihe von Brillianten in Halbkreisen gefasst aus Altschliffdiamanten.

Ein Paar Ohrringe (pendants) mit je einem A. im Treppenschliff, von Altschliffdiamenten umgeben und als Abschluss wieder ein Brilliant in einem Halbkreis. Dazu das passende Collier - wie Beschreibungen oben, der Verbleib ist unkannt.

Rechts im Bild ihr ein Geschenk, das sie in der Verlobungszeit erhielt. Eine Brosche aus Gold mit einem grossen rechteckigen Sibierischen Aquamarin, eingerahmt von einem durchbrochen gearbeiteten Zick-Zack Gitter aus Diamanten.

Die Brosche hat der Zarewitsch zusammen mit seinem Hochzeitsgeschenk drei Monate vorher, bei Faberge bestellt und kostete 1100 Rubel.

Das Geschenk an die damalige Prinzessin Alix von Hessen, ist von Holmström dem Werkmeister von Faberge signiert und wurde der Prinzessin am 10. August 1894 päsentiert. Die Verlobung war bereits im April in Coburg,anlässlich der sogenannte Fürstenhochzeit im Kreise des europäischen Hochadels.

Der geheime Safe wurde übrigens erst in den 50er Jahren entdeckt, die Sowjets hatten das Versteck während der Revolution nicht gefunden.


Die Aquamarinbrosche war bei den Juwelen in Tobolsk, einer der letzten Aufenthaltsorte der Zarenfamilie, von Vertrauten geschmuggelt worden und hat die Nummer 87.

Aquamarine Jewels | Imperial Personal property of Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna

Empress Alexandra had the largest personal jewel collection in the world - and it was all in her bedroom. The bedroom at the Alexanderpalace was a private vault for some of the most precious jewels in private hands anywhere in the world... - amounting over $50 million dollars in 1917 currency. Not willing to let her family's future recourses out from under her watchful eye - or far from her reach, she kept this collection close at hand.
While she was frugal to the point of obsession, at the same time Alexandra zealously made preparations for the later dark 'rainy day' that could come at any time. From the beginning, and increasingly as the political situation deteriorated, the Empress made a point of secretly creating much of her private wealth in that most portable of valuables - jewelry.

So, Alix received her jewelry as gifts. Her relatives knew she prefered jewelry over other things. They often picked things with sentimental value - dates, initials, charms - which the Empress loved, this items were gifts for various occaisions, birthdays, christmas, eastern and anniverseries.
Just for some perspective on the value of the eggs in those days, Alexandra took a brooch holding a single diamond of 100 carats when they left.
The value in those days would have paid for ALL of the Faberge eggs she had. The value of the eggs today is highly inflated much more than any equivalent value in 1918. The gold, stones, etc were not worth all that much, and even the labor to make them was much cheaper than today. Nick, Im sure can help out here with details, but the diamonds, emeralds and rubies that Alexandra took with her were far more valuable than the Faberge items.
The Faberge pieces were chosen strictly for sentimental value (the most expensive egg ever ordered was the 1913 Winter Egg at 24,600 roubles) .


Some items from her personal jewels, from above:

 

 

Aquamarine and Diamond Kokoshnik c 1910| Empress Alexandra| Imperial Russian Aquamarine and Diamond Tiara

 

The Aquamarine and diamond kokoshnik, was of the personal property of the Tsarina Alexandra.

The imperial aquamarine and diamond tiara was made by Koch / Workshop Gebr. Kreuter Hanau, Produktion Nr 35110 in gold platinum, diamond and aquamarin,in 1910, the messures: L100mm W140mm H50mm.


Wartski, purchased the kokoshnik in Russia, in the late 1920s and offered it for sale till 1927-29, in his shop.

The Imperial Russian Aquamarine Diamond Tiara was sold in 1982 by Hennell, at St Moritz Sotheby and 2014 in a privat auction at Sothebys and exhibited 2017 by Christies London.

Since 2020 the kokoshnik is in the Albion Collection -Albion Art Jewellery Institute.

Necklace and earrings(probably made by Hennell in 1980th and of course, not of the imperial collection- matching the imperial tiara, also with diamonds, aquamarine and made in platinum.

This necklace rebuild as tiara, was later used from Astrid Bernadotte, great-great-granddaughter of King Oscar II of Sweden, at her wedding reception, July 2017. The base and the propotion are different from the orginal imperial tiara.

 

 

Tsarina Alexandrovna | Aquamarine Brooch with Diamonds


A gold mounted brooch centred with a Siberian aquamarine surrounded by a rising openwork border of diamonds-set instersetting zig-zags by Faberge.

The brooch was acquired by Tsarevich Nicholas as a gift for Princess Alix of Hesse on 10th August 1894, three months before their wedding, for 1100 roubles, signed with the initials of the workmaster Henrik Wigström St Petersburg 1894.
This brooch was declared on the invoice:
"Bought by the heir" Tsarevich Nicholas also presented his bride for the wedding with a magnificent pearl necklace, with a diamond set clasp purchased from Faberge for 177600 roubles.

The Aquamarine Brooch was one of the jewels which are on the list of the jewelry of Tobolsk - as Nr 87

 

Alexandra's jewelry was composed almost entirely of family gifts. She bought almost nothing for herself; such purchases weren't necessary. Each year she received dozens of gifts of jewelry on birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and other important dates until her collection totalled several hundred items which were carried about in massive hardwood cases wherever the family travelled. The most valuable pieces came from her husband, who loved to see his wife splendidly dressed and bejewelled in the Russian tradition.
