It is designed as a graduated bandeau of triple laurel leaves, highlighted with 13 larger millegrain-set round daimonds simulating buds, interspaced with five pairs of diamond-capped pear-shaped cabochon emeralds, one irreglarly vaceted, mounted in silver and gold. It is probably of Russian origing, dating from the first quarter of the 19th century an arrived through descent in the House of Prussia rowerds the end of the century. Dona received this tiara from Wilhelm at the time of their anniversary in 1906 and it was eventually inherited by Victoria Louise. It was sold in 1974.
Dona also had many gorgeous sets of pearls which she often wore in long, looped strands.
Hello! Do you have photos of these tiaras? I can't see the pics that you posted
Do you know where are the Crown Jewels of Prussia and Germany (crowns...)?
Regards and thanks!
I had thought in "Fabergé: Lost and Found" and "Fabergé: Imperial Jeweller". What do you think? I don't want only a book about Fabergé eggs, I would like a book with more than Fabergé eggs
