Is it a heart shaped ruby? It's a little hard to tell in the picture...I like the diamonds.

[Baroness of Books]

Yes, I think it is. I just like the diamond band.

Didn't know where to post this as there aren't any Bourbon-Parma jewelry threads...

Here is one more tiara that belonged to Bourbon-Parma family worn by Duchess Madeleine,nee de Bourbon-Busset:



Does it exist today?

This beautiful tiara hasn't been seen in public for a long time. The last picture I have seen was from the 1960's when Princess Francoise of Lobkowicz wore it at a charity event. I have never heard rumours about it being sold, so I hope that it is still in her family.

So,is this the "Lobkowicz" tiara Francoise wore at her wedding?

[maria-olivia]

Absolutely not. It is the Bourbon Parme tiara even seen on Prince Leopold and Princess Astrid of the Belgian's wedding wearing by the Princess René de Bourbon Parme , born Princess of Denmark.
Princess Françoise still owns or sold the tiara .

[Marc23]

Thank you for your answer.
Are there any pictures of her wearing this tiara from that event?

[Tilia C.]

Yes, it is the tiara which Princess Francoise wore at her wedding with the Prince of Lobkowicz.

But Princess Rene of Bourbon Parma wore this bandeau tiara at the wedding of Astrid & Leopold.

Was there another Bourbon-Parma Princess attending this wedding?

[maria-olivia]

Tilla , yes she wore her bandeau tiara , I was wrong .
I saw other pictures I don't remember yet.
It belongs to Princess Françoise . She had 4 children , two of her sons died , we saw her at the Luxembourg wedding with her third son. Her daughter is a Nun(religieuse).
Her relationship with her brother the late Duke of Parme was that bad, she did not attend his funerals. I wonder if she will give her tiara to the actual Duchess of Parma as she is a commoner ?

[Tilia C.]

I am sure that Princess Rene wore the tiara at least once, maybe at the wedding of CP Frederik of Denmark & Princess Ingrid of Sweden.

Since the quarrels in the family are so very grave, I don't think that the tiara will ever be worn by the actual Duchess. Princess Francoise might rather leave it to her unmarried son. Maybe he will still get married.

I think they are right because the jewels returns to them

You mean like in Norway where Princesses have certain tiaras at life-long disposal,but after they die,tiaras are back to the main line?

Or something else?

The diadem was created by Chaumet and was sold some years ago.
