i have lost the little information i had on this necklace, is there anyone with information about it.
It is said that The Leucthenberg Sapphire parure (A parure is a set of various items of matching jewelry, which rose to popularity in 17th century Europe. The word is derived from Old French, parure means adornment, from the verb parer, to adorn.) is made from a belt that was part of Empress Josephine of the French people’s sapphire parure.
The pear shaped sapphires in the tiara have been replaced by large pear formed pearls, but no one since Queen Victoriahas has worn the pearls. The parure was also a favorite of her successor, Queen Louise, nee Battenberg/Mountbatten, who made the earrings out of two hairpins.
What is interesting about this picture is that Queen Victoria is also wearing the Baden Fringe tiara over her chest. The tiara that she got as a wedding present from her parents and that she wore as a necklace on her wedding to the crown prince Gustav.The tiara is a favorite of today’s Crown Princess Victoria.

Different subject, but I just happened on this choker, diamonds, sapphire & pearls. The center jewel detaches to be worn as a brooch. Belonged to Queen Elena of Savoia (Montenegro), wife of King Vittore Emmanuele III of Italy. She lived from 1873 to 1952 & was apparently popular with the Italian people. After the King''s abdication when Mussolini took over, I think she took the title ''Duchess of Montenegro.'' The choker was auctioned in Monte Carlo in July, don''t know the price it realized. Beautiful sapphire!
Here''s a more up close pic of the tiara. I love this pic of Victoria. Both girls look so much like their mother.Date: 10/16/2009 10:20:40 PM

Hello Josefine!
Swedish Crown Princess Victoria is going to get married soon. She favors a tiara worn by Queen Victoria of Sweden. The Queen Victoria of Sweden, nee Baden, wearing the Leucthenberg Saphires.
It is said that The Leucthenberg Sapphire parure (A parure is a set of various items of matching jewelry, which rose to popularity in 17th century Europe. The word is derived from Old French, parure means adornment, from the verb parer, to adorn.) is made from a belt that was part of Empress Josephine of the French people’s sapphire parure.

Here you can see the Aquamarine Bandeau Tiara of Princess Madeleine of Sweden that some people calls as hideous, or like the eye of a Cyclope...lol

I have an almost dirty fantasy about the Crown Princess Victoria; That will wear the Baden Fringe Tiara as a necklace, just like Victoria of Baden did on her wedding day. It will be the first Crown Prince/Princess wedding in Sweden since then!
I still love this aqua tiara...it is very simple, but beautiful at the same time!Date: 10/17/2009 5:32:46 PM
