Royal Sapphire Jewelry


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Is there a written record of who purchased Princess Louise's jewels?

No record of who bought her jewels,she was in disgrace with the Belgian RF and they didn't even attend her funeral or attempt to repatriate her remains for burial at home.
 
I was told Queen Elisabetg II wears Princess Louise de Cobourg sapphire tiara.
Our Princess divorced and ended with disgrace live .

It is the necklace of Princess Louise which Queen Elizabeth II. has converted into a tiara.
 
When did Louise get the necklace? Can it be considered a Belgian piece in the first place?

In the 1960’s there was still a lot of pieces with the different Belgian Princesses and Queen.
And Louise was quite far related from Baudouin or Leopold.

Nowadays there are almost no tiara events in Belgium. No need for a giant collection.
It is a pity though that Elisabeth’s Cartier is gone, but it can be regularly admidered in exhibitions.

Just as well as the the Belgian Jewel chest is thread bare ;)
 
Has anyone seen a picture of Grand Duchess Vladimir’s sapphire kokoshnik?
 
The Royal main House of Denmark lost two sapphire tiaras sold by Prince Knud descendents.
 
That's a very regal sapphire tiara and happy to note still with the Harewood family!


Not with the Harewoods anymore but in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Oh ok that article must be out of date as it said it loaned for an exhibition and that must have changed post 2002.

Yes it was offered for sale several years ago (after the death of the Earl) and then the british government classified is important so that it could not be sold abroad.
