The Platinum Jubilee Exhibition: ‘Power & Image: Royal & Aristocratic Tiaras’ at Sotheby's
Power & Image: Royal & Aristocratic Tiaras

 

[Dean James]

I'm sure these will have been posed before, but I found them while scrolling through my old Royal files and thought they may be of interest, not the best images, but others wanted to see them as well, so I was a litttle rushed, the side images on the first picture are reflections from the case behind. They are from the Romanov exhibition at the then Queens Gallery now the Kings Gallery at Buckingham Palace. 19th January 2019.



note the elastic strap and buckle on the rear of the tiara

Thank you. I haven’t seen these pics before. Each piece is so beautiful. Would love to see the Vladimir tiara worn again soon. I particularly like it when hung with the emeralds.

 

[Dean James]

No I haven't posted them before, I never think people will be interested in things I see. the Emeralds stand out more than the Pearls, my late Queen sometimes wore it empty.

More about this tiara:

Vladimir Tiara

The Vladimir Tiara is the versatile jewel of the Grand Duchess Vladimir which was dramatically smuggled out of Russia, bought from her daughter by Queen Mary, and became a lifelong favourite (and the last Tiara) of the late Queen

I hope Queen Camilla wears this tiara soon.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure to be invited to attend the press preview of the highly anticipated ‘Edwardians: Age of Elegance’ Exhibition at the King’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, which opens today!

Queen Alexandra’s Kokoshnik Tiara, the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara and the Delhi Durbar Tiara are among the highlights of the 300 objects on display, which also include Queen Alexandra’s Wedding Necklace, the Dagmar Necklace, Queen Mary’s Love Trophy Collar and Diamond Stomacher among other jewels.

 

[Halise]

Does this mean that everything on display is exclusive to the royal (family) collection and that there were no external loans?

There is an accompanying book which has pictures and information on the Cartier Halo tiara worn by the Princess of Wales on her wedding - I assumed this meant it was going to be displayed but I have seen none of the press articles mention this

This is a comprehensive guide to what we can expect.

Royal Jewels in the Cartier Exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum

Iconic Jewels from Royal and Noble Collections are on display in the highly anticipated Cartier Exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, which opens today

I think the Halo tiara is part of 5he exhibition, but isn’t being headlined given the amount of significant, rarely seen pieces contained within the exhibition. If you scroll down this article it does mention it. Also, if there is account accompanying catalogue with a picture of it in, I would think that means it on display. We will have to wait until our first visitors report back.

Those on display at the King's Gallery - again excited to see this one soon. I recall years ago seeing the Girls of Great Britain tiara and was surprised at how dense/packed together it appeared.
