Royal Jewels

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Not jewelry related but just noticed that Margaret dyed her hair but it seems the Queen just went with the natural graying of the hair..l is this true? Plenty of hats and tiaras would hide noticeable roots.

from memory the Queen just stopped dying her hair over the summer holidays one time
my mother would know

Queen Elizabeth II asked a royal sculptor to depict her without her tiara so the bust would be “the same” as the Duke of Edinburgh’s alongside it, the artist has revealed ahead of a new exhibition.
Frances Segelman, who was granted three sittings with the late Queen in 2007, said she asked the monarch if she would like a version of the bronze cast to sit alongside the one she had previously made of the Duke at Buckingham Palace.
“She said that would be very, very nice,” recalled Ms Segelman.
“But looking at the photograph I was showing her, she said: ‘I wouldn't want the tiara on next to the Duke of Edinburgh as he's got just a shirt and tie. So I wouldn't want my tiara on, I would want us to be the same.”
It meant Ms Segelman had to make one version without the tiara, redoing the monarch’s hair.

The sculptor added: “I thought it was very lovely. She was so caring [and] obviously loved him very, very much. Those two are there in the palace together like that and all the others have the tiara. This is quite unusual.”
Three of Ms Segelman’s sculptures depicting the monarch, the Duke of Edinburgh and King Charles feature in an exhibition called Majesty: A Tribute To The Queen, which opened at Quantus Gallery in Spitalfields, east London, on Wednesday.
The exhibition unites three royal artists - Ms Segelman, Rob Munday, who created the first officially commissioned holographic portrait of Elizabeth II in 2004, and Christian Furr, who at 28 became the youngest artist commissioned to paint an official portrait of the sovereign in 1995.

Ms Segelman said the late Queen had been so chatty during her sittings that she struggled to concentrate on her work.
“I really wasn't getting very far,” she said.
“Normally, I don't let my sitters talk because I can't get it done otherwise.
“I thought I'd try and find a way of having a bit of a gap so I said to her: ‘Your Majesty, I don't mind at all if you feel like you would like to have a rest or not talk to me. I'd be absolutely fine.’
“I had to pluck up so much courage, but she never took any notice, she still carried on!”
The late Queen expressed a particular concern for the tourists milling around on the road outside Buckingham Palace before the layout was changed. She also chatted about the various visitors to the palace and a journey she was due to take by train.
Ms Segelman, who has recently been commissioned to sculpt the Queen Consort, said one of the most nerve-wracking moments was having to measure Elizabeth II’s head with callipers - an intimate moment that involved touching her hair and her face.
“It was terrible,” she said. “It was just a memory that I'll never ever ever lose. And you worry, because they’re pointed.
“My intention at the beginning was to go back to my table and write down the measurements from the calliper. But every time I got back, I'd forgotten it or it had moved because my hands were shaking.
“So I kept going backwards and forwards and in the end I decided, you know what, I'm not doing anymore of it because I've just got to relax and enjoy her.”
Majesty: A Tribute To The Queen ends on Oct 12.

While I was away on holiday, the King and Queen of Spain paid of State Visit to Germany. The Queen wore a dramatic pair of ruby and diamond chandelier earrings and bracelet at the State Banquet (though sadly no tiara):




Then, on the next day she wore a forgotten pair of earrings from her m-i-l's collection featuring cabochon sapphires and diamond in a retro setting.

Holiday ?
where did you go ?

Last night, the Dutch Royal Couple hosted a modern dance performance performance at the Athens Concert Hall.
The dance may have been modern, but the Queen wore family antiques. Her fern brooch bates back to the late XIX century and can also be worn as aigrette/hair jewel, while the sumptuous earrings feature some of the oldest stones in the family collection and can usually be seen on top of the Stuart tiara.


Even better that pics, here's a video from last night, where you can appreciate the immense sparkle of the diamond earrings

Love Queen Max for her love of jewellery!

Princess Kalina of Bulgaria, d the daughter of Tsar Simeon II, and her husband Kitin Muñoz sat for an interview with ¡Hola! on the occasion of their 20th wedding anniversary.
In the pics released with the publication, the Princess is wearing her yellow and blue sapphire pendant necklace and another intriguing piece set with what looks like a large ruby in a lozenge-shaped diamond frame supporting a long ruby and diamond drop.

Charles Spencer shares photo with sister Princess Diana and their dad to mark All Souls Day

Charles Spencer shared a 1989 throwback photo to mark All Souls Day, or Day of the Dead, in honour of his beloved family members.

www.stuff.co.nz

​

Today is All Souls Day - when it’s customary to remember the souls of those you love, who’ve departed: it is known in some parts of the world as the Day of the Dead. A deeply poignant photograph for me from the summer of 1989, when there was a party at Althorp to mark my father’s 65th birthday earlier that year.

 

[prince.of.preslav]

It's a beautiful family photo! Diana is wearing Queen Mary's Cambridge emerald choker and earrings and bracelet in emeralds and diamonds given to her by Charles. I rsally hope to see the them again!
