Sapphire and Diamond Crown Queen Maria da Gloria II Portugal Royal Jewels History |Reinha Portugal

A remarkable diamond and sapphire crown that belonged to Queen Maria II of Portugal r. 1826-28 and 1834-1853 Composed of nine numbered and detachable elements that can be worn as brooches, it is set with 5 blue sapphires with an estimated total weight 32-35 ct, the largest of which measuring 19.15x15.60x7.65 mm with a report stating Burmese origin, no heat. The crown is also set with a massive amount of old cut diamonds, with a total estimated weight of 90-95 carats. In a 1846 portrait of the queen at Palácio Nacional da Ajuda, Lisboa, the monarch is seen wearing the crown as well as a sapphire brooch and sapphire bracelet. One may speculate if those were matching with the tiara.sapphire #crownjewels #casadebragança #jewelry #sapphiretiara #tiara #diadem #diadema #crown #royalcrown #sapphirejewelry #jewelry #jewellery #royaljewels #royaljewellery #royals #beauharnais #sapphires #safira #queen #joyauxdelacouronne #joyasdelacorona #zaffiro #diamonds #diamondjewelry #jewelryhistorian #jewelleryhistorian #historyofjewelry #arthistory #portugalgema
