LadyMaria said:Seeing the picture of Countess Alexandra (ex-wife of Prince Joachim) got me to thinking...what happened to the diamond drop tiara after the divorce? Wasn't that tiara a gift from Queen Margarethe? Did she have to give it back? She doesn't wear it anymore (not that there's any functions for her to wear it to anyway). Is it being saved for a future wife of Nikolai and Felix?

Though hard to tell from this photo, it seems that the Duchess is wearing the Iveagh tiara. But what's more obvious is that HRH needs a new evening gown!http://www.daylife.com/photo/0by90OegBhdWP?q=guildhall
The Sheikha wore a quite impressive diamond necklace and the Lady Mayoress a small tiara:

do you also have a photo of queen josefina with the"Leuchtenberg tiara with pearls"
prince.of.preslav said:Very nice panel, Josefine. I hope you can add more photos to it in the future.
The second photo on the 6th row and the last photo on the 5th wore actually taken of the very same day. The offical portrait (6/2) was taken ahead of a representation dinner that HM attended some years ago (5/4). Thus, I'm sure if these photos can be considered different wearings of the Braganca tiara.
Is this the portrait of Queen Josephine that you have in mind?

Josefine said:i thought about to make a try to make a Leuchtenberg set panel
thank you so much for the photo
is it lilians necklace worn by queen josefina here?
Thanks for your links and your kind words. It took me quite long to finish my Queen Alexandra tiara panel (real life can be quite busy at times!) I hope you all enjoy it, although it is quite small. But we have to blame dear Queen Alexandra for that. She just didn't leave enough photos of herself with different tiaras. To fill up the panel I even used tiaras which she never which she never wore on a photo: The convertible amethyst necklace tiara which QEQM unfortunately sold, and the Indian circlet tiara. It is said that it was Queen Alexandra who changed the stones from opal to rubies, so I think she must have worn it also. I left out the golden kokoshnik because I didn't want to steal the artwork from the magnificent Royal-Magazine site.prince.of.preslav|1287617373|2742511 said:Cordata said:I thought of creating another panel of Queen Alexandra. But I would need everyone's help for collecting pictures and making a list of the tiaras she has worn.
I know about the following:
1. the circlet of her crown worn together with Queen Victoria's small crown
2. the state diadem
3. the Rundell tiara (big and smaller version)
4. the kokoshnik tiara
5. the amethyst tiara
What did I miss?
the Rundell tiara
That's wonderful news, Cordata! Here's what I have to say - Queen Alexandra didn't wear the circlet of her own crown with the small crown - it's the Regal Circlet of Queen Victoria (far more delicate that Alexandra's); There's another amethyst and diamond tiara HM owned, though saddly there aren't photos of her wearing it - http://www.royal-magazin.de/england/queen-alexandra/q-alexandra-amethysts.htm and I'd there's also this crown - http://www.royal-magazin.de/england/queen-alexandra/india-necklace-alexandra.htm and this gold kokoshnik - http://www.royal-magazin.de/england/queen-alexandra/queen-gold-ornaments.htm.
Googd luck with the panel!

Also the tiara (color picture) next to the amyethst piece, what is that? Any history, Bobby?. I don't recognize either of these. Are the pieces still in tact or have they been split up, too fragile to wear? Thanks as usual.
