Royal Tiaras Highlights: Margaret Greville's Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara

The tiara was made in 1921 by Boucheron for Dame Margaret Greville, who famously bequeathed her jewelry to Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) in 1942. The diamond and emerald tiara, which features a large cabochon emerald as its central element, was made in 1919, two years earlier than previously stated. The press release from the palace - released on Princess Eugenie’s wedding day - described the tiara as “made of brilliant and rose cut diamonds pavé set in platinum, with six emeralds on either side.” The release also noted that the tiara’s design was inspired by the kokoshniks that had been popular at the imperial court of the Romanovs in Russia.

Kyanite: A Gemstone With Hidden Depths

Kyanite isn't your everyday diamond or sapphire, but it holds a charm all its own. This unique gemstone offers a captivating play of color and a touch of rarity, making it a valuable choice for those who appreciate something special.

The Blade That Shifts Color

Kyanite's most striking feature is pleochroism. This means the gem changes color depending on the angle you look at it! Imagine a sapphire blue stone that transforms into emerald green with a tilt of your head - that's the magic of kyanite. This characteristic makes it a favorite among collectors who cherish unique gems.

Beauty with a Side of Caution

While fairly durable (ranking 7 on the Mohs scale), kyanite has a blade-like crystal structure. This means it can chip or scratch if struck in a specific direction. Don't worry though, skilled jewelers can work around this by using protective settings or cabochon cuts (smooth, polished domes) to minimize risk.

A Spectrum of Value

Kyanite comes in a variety of colors, with deep blues and greens being the most sought-after. Rarer colors like orange or pink can be even more valuable. Here's what affects a kyanite's worth:

Color: Vivid blues and greens fetch a higher price.

Clarity: Flawless stones are rare, but inclusions (tiny flaws) are okay if they don't affect the beauty.

Cut: A well-cut kyanite with good brilliance and fire adds value (faceting kyanite can be tricky).

Size: Larger, high-quality kyanites are naturally rarer and more expensive.

Generally, prices range from $6 per carat for lower qualities to a whopping $600 per carat for exceptional specimens.

More Than Just a Pretty Face

Kyanite's value extends beyond aesthetics. Its high aluminum content makes it valuable in the production of high-quality porcelain and refractory materials. This adds another layer of value to the stone, especially for industrial purposes.

So, Is Kyanite Valuable?

Absolutely! It depends on what you're looking for. For jewelry, kyanite offers a captivating play of color and a conversation-starting rarity. It might not be the most durable gem, but its beauty and uniqueness make it a valuable choice for those who appreciate something special. In the industrial world, its properties make it a valuable material as well.

Kyanite's worth lies in its distinctive character, captivating colors, and the way light dances within its crystalline form. It's a true gem with hidden depths!

I’ve been down a rabbit hole wondering about medieval jewelry (and if I can reproduce it despite having no metalworking skills, to which the answer is mostly no) lately & I figured I would share the fruits of my museum collection searches for other medievalists/hobbyists/reenactors/nerds.

Jewelry of the 13th Century Anglo/Francosphere

TL;DR

Metals: 🟨 gold(tone)

Stones: mostly 🔵 cabochon, rarely 💠 simple cut, some carved 🗿 intaglio or cameo

Stone Colors: warm blues, emerald green, purples, burgundies, reds

Materials: enamel, 💎 gemstones (garnet, Ceylon sapphire, ruby/spinel, emerald) or glass paste imitations, ⚪ semi-precious stones (pearl, lapis, jasper, carnelian, coral, turquoise, porphyry)

Settings: bezel (oval and rectangular); ⚜️ intricate metalwork; more visible and textured metal than modern jewelry; more mixtures of stones and colors than modern tastes

Motifs: ◯ round, ✤ quatrefoil, ✙ cross, ✸ star (even numbers of points), ♣ trefoil, ❦ floral, 🐉 animals, 𝕬 inscription

Formats: brooches, ornamented clothing, rings, pendants, circlets, cuffs (rare)

A detailed look:

Some forms of jewelry that were very popular in the Roman Empire and are again today were just not the thing in the middle European Middle Ages. (Earrings, for example, seem to have barely existed. This is partially at least because ears were covered--by coifs and caps, hair, and (for women) braids or the chin strap and fillet/wimple/gorget.) In fact, a lot of the places we would put jewelry against our skin today were covered.

This left some other options:

Jewelry on Clothing

Medallions

Okay, these aren’t jewelry, strictly speaking, but they’re metalwork ornaments associated with a person.

Enamel Mitre Medallions

OA 3437 and OA 3438 Before 1291, Ile de France Louvre, Paris photos (c) Musée du Louvre / Stéphane Maréchalle 2015

Cloisonné and plique enamel over gold and copper, with decorative motifs of trefoils, quatrefoil, and stars in a palette of dark blue and green with accents that may once have been ruby red.

Appliqué Medallion

# MRR 256 13th c., Limoge Louvre, Paris photo (c) Musée du Louvre 2014

Gilded copper (though most gold is worn off) with quatrefoil champlevé enamel in emerald green, lapis blue, and white or off-white.

Brooches

Perhaps the most prevalent medieval jewelry item in the Anglo & French regions. These were worn at the shoulder for men and breast for women, often anchoring a cloak, or to close the collar. As the ornate fermail and double-ring brooch suggest, these ran the gamut from practical to incredibly decorative and ornate.

Garnet & Silver Gilt Animal Ring Brooch; Green and Blue Glass and Gilt Ring Brooch

Left, # 2003,0703.1 13th century; found in Suffolk, England British Museum, London photo (c) The Trustees of the British Museum

Right, # M.28-1929 13th c., England V&A, London photo © Victoria and Albert Museum, London

Cabochon garnets or carbuncles in the gilded silver brooch (L), perhaps once paired with smaller stones in the eyes of metalwork animals that bite the pin bracket. The right brooch, also silver gilt, sports two glass paste emerald and sapphire "gems" in cabochon. It was probably a lover's token; it reads (in Lombardic-lettered French) IOSV ICI ATI VCI or "jo su[i] ici a t[o]i v[o]ici" which I might translate as "I am here with/belonging to you, look!"

Ruby & Sapphire Ring Brooch; Sapphire, Garnet, and Pearl Fermail

Left, # 6808-1860 1275-1300, England V&A, London photo © Victoria and Albert Museum, London

Right, # OA6287 1250-1300, France Louvre, Paris photo (c) Musée du Louvre

Blogs often claim that stones were only polished en cabochon until the 16th century, and that medieval jewelers couldn't cut gemstones. But this 13th-century gold ring brooch (left) pairs table-cut purple rubies with collet-set cabochon sapphires, and may evidence early medieval gem-cutting or reuse of Roman cut stones. The silver gilt fermail, right, includes pearl beads, garnets and sapphires both cut and cabbed, and one glass paste cabochon. Both are intricately textured, with punchwork (L) and floral metalwork, probably cast and then attached (R).

Double Ring Brooch with Sapphire and Glass "Emeralds"

# M.26-1993 13th c., England V&A, London photo © Victoria and Albert Museum, London

This gold double brooch is so small they think it was for a woman or child. Central sapphire cab is flanked by glass paste "emeralds" in bezel settings and metalwork featuring two animal heads.

Jewelry on the Body

Rings

Many are probably familiar with the signet ring, used for pressing into sealing wax, which could be intaglio-carved gemstone or metals. There were also a number of decorative and/or talismanic gemstone rings.

LtR:

Sapphire in gold is the name of the game when it comes to rings in the thirteenth century; even the purple stones on the left are purple sapphires. (Sapphires were said to aid chastity, purity, and the effectiveness of prayer.) For larger stones, the bezel often has claws added (L); the central ring is an example of a full claw setting that modern viewers might find surprisingly tall. Naturalistic flourishes are added (C & R); these might be pre-cast then attached to the base (R).

Pendants

We equate pendants with necklaces, but their medieval applications also included wear as badges, from headpieces, and on horse decorations.

Left, bloodstone jasper cameo in silver setting # MRR 218 1100-1300, France? Louvre, Paris photo (c) Musée du Louvre / Jean Blot 1984

Right, champlevé enamel, gilt copper, and paste "emerald" (harness) pendant # 1976.169 13th c., France Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland photo CC0 Open Access

Statue Jewelry

From here, we get into the really ridiculous stuff; the previous categories could be relatively everyday (as much as ornamentation reserved exclusively for the wealthy can be an everyday thing) but the following examples are astonishing displays not necessarily for wear.

"La Couronne" de Vierge et l'Enfant d'ivoire de la Sainte-Chapelle

# OA 57 B 1250-1300, France Louvre, Paris photo (c) Musée de Louvre

This was not even a crown for a person, but rather for a painted ivory statue of the Virgin Mary, holding her infant son. (Though circlets, even set with stones, were sometimes worn as part of women's head dress.) It's incredibly ornate gold, set with pearls, garnets and rubies, sapphires, and turquoise (?) en cabochon.

Anneau de Saint-Denis

# MS 85 BIS 1200-1215, France Louvre, Paris photos (c) Musée du Louvre / Daniel Arnaudet 1990

This astonishing piece, which is ring-sized but now displayed as a cuff on an ivory hand, is made of gold and displays every possible gemstone appearance characteristic of the period. The front piece has a central sapphire and is surrounded by quartz with red backing (mimicking ruby/garnet), amethysts, pearls, and sapphires, some set on yellow backing (mimicking turquoise?). Most are en cabochon on this face, but two are faceted and two intaglio. Were this not enough, the three other 'faces' of the ring are set with gems as well, two cameos (probably sapphire and garnet?) and one amethyst intaglio set in ornate gold filigree.

INSIDE THE SOTHEBY’S PLATINUM JUBILEE TIARA EXHIBITION

07.31.2022 by THE COURTJEWELLER

Earlier this summer, Sotheby’s in London mounted a truly special exhibition of tiaras, featuring royal and aristocratic pieces alongside more modern examples. Several of our lucky readers were able to visit the exhibition and see the tiaras in person, and today, I’m honored to share some photos taken by our lovely reader Phyllis!

Phyllis has generously shared a selection of her photographs, plus some of her observations about the exhibition. She notes that the presentation techniques used by Sotheby’s to present some of the diadems was truly ingenious: “The tiaras are either in cases where you can walk around 360 degrees and see them from all sides or are along the walls in niche cases. The tiaras in the niche cases actually float up and down and also spin, I spoke with a Sotheby’s employee about this and evidently the wall niches, which are actually secure vaults, use a patented technology to suspend and spin the tiaras. There are no strings! I think it must use air pressure changes to do this….it’s really cool.”

Here are two interesting tiaras are paired in a single case. The top sparkler is the Westminster Halo Tiara, made by Lacloche in 1930 for Loelia Ponsonby, the third wife of the 2nd Duke of Westminster. Sotheby’s notes that the tiara was designed “as a halo to be worn over the crown of the wearer’s head and extending outwards in the manner of a traditional Chinese headdress,” adding that it was “originally set with the Hastings and Arcot diamonds, now replaced with smaller diamonds, [and] flowers.

The second, smaller tiara in the display is a simpler silver bandeau-style tiara that dates to ca. 1920. Sotheby’s describes the jewel as “as an openwork bandeau of foliage and flowers, set at the centre with a cabochon emerald and with circular-cut sapphires and pink sapphire within the centres of the flowers.

One of the most famous tiaras displayed in the exhibition was the Spencer Tiara, which we discussed at length here on the site a few days ago. It was made in 1937 for the Countess Spencer using a set of nineteenth-century ornaments, and it was most famously worn by Diana, Princess of Wales. Sotheby’s calls the tiara “one of the most famous diadems in modern history.” (It’s tough to disagree with that statement!) Phyllis shared that “it was a real thrill” to see the tiara in person, and that it was a highlight, along with another very important royal jewel, Queen Victoria’s Emerald and Diamond Tiara.

I really love the photo that Phyllis took of the Rosebery Tiara. Her image shows the intense sparkle of the diamonds so clearly! Made in France ca. 1878, this tiara was given as a wedding present to Hannah Rothschild, the richest women in Britain, by her new husband, the 5th Earl of Rosebery. Sotheby’s explains that the tiara is “comprised of ornate scrollwork and foliate detailing in a graduated sequence of crescents within which large collet stones are set and flanked by foliate scrolls issuing stylised lilies, with a band interspersed with square and lozenge stones, set throughout with diamonds.”

Phyllis explained that she “loved seeing these tiaras in 360 views because the frames and attachments are just as interesting as the front views.” She added, “Most of them have detachable brooches and/or can be worn as necklaces. The mechanics used vary quite a bit from one tiara to the next and all are utterly unique. Some brooch backs have pin back attachments like modern jewelry but the older ones have spikes and clips.

Here are two more tiaras that shared a case in the exhibition. (It’s so fun to think through the reasons that the curators paired up certain sparklers, isn’t it?) The top tiara is a diamond waveform tiara made by Cartier in 1904. Sotheby’s describes it as “a wreath of twinned sprays of leaves, set throughout with brilliant-cut diamonds, with pendant larger diamonds to suggest flowers, detachable into four brooches, accompanied by brooch fittings.”

The lower tiara is also a Cartier creation. Made in the 1920s, it’s a bandeau-style tiara set with diamonds, amethysts, sapphires, and onyx. Sotheby’s explains that the tiara, which was made in the firm’s Paris atelier, has a “geometric openwork design, set throughout with circular-cut diamonds and three large faceted buff-top amethysts, with cabochon sapphire and onyx panel accents.” You can see this one sparkling in motion on the Sotheby’s website as well.

I love this dramatic photograph of the Derby Tiara, made around 1890, likely by Skinner & Co. This tiara has a fraternal twin: the Devonshire Diadem, made by the same firm in 1893. The Derby is slightly smaller than the Devonshire; Sotheby’s notes that the Devonshire version “features 13 palmette motifs,” while the Derby “is smaller and bears 11 palmette motifs.” Though Sotheby’s attributes the construction of the tiara to Skinner, the piece resides in a fitted Carrington & Co. Case.

Placed below the Derby Tiara is an unusual, asymmetrical tiara made ca. 1820: the Fitzwilliam Tiara. Sotheby’s explains that this early example of nineteenth-century tiara design is in “naturalist taste, designed as a long spray of flowers, leaves and buds forming a half circle, the front surmounted by crossed leafy stems centred and flanked by flowers.” The tiara is “detachable to be used as earrings and a brooch, [and] set throughout with cushion-, pear-shaped and circular-cut diamonds, with a back chain for converting the tiara as a necklace.” It’s fascinating to see the “bones” of the tiara’s construction in Phyllis’s photo.

Here's a tiara in one of the “floating” cases described by Phyllis. Sold in an auction at Sotheby’s in 2021, this golden diadem was made by Jacques-Ambroise Oliveras ca. 1805. By family tradition of the longtime owners, the Lascelles family, the tiara and its coordinating jewels belonged to Empress Joséphine of France, perhaps gifts from her sister-in-law, Caroline Bonaparte Murat. Sotheby’s has published a lengthy essay on the provenance of the tiara and its connection to Joséphine and Caroline.

And finally, we’ve got another set of jewels that particularly intrigued Phyllis: a turquoise and diamond tiara and necklace made in the 1960s by Van Cleef & Arpels. Sotheby’s notes that turquoise jewels like this suite were inspired by designs from India. And Phyllis shares even more information with us: “Another thing I learned is that the turquoise tiara has never been worn, only the necklace has been worn and just one or two times. Gem quality turquoise is a soft stone that discolors easily from body contact, hence these turquoise pieces being rarely or never worn. The uprights on that tiara also are removable and can be attached to the necklace as pendants, I think at the ‘flower base’ motif.

Our Precious

Everyone loves to have something decorative about them. It could be a brooch, a certain set of earrings, a specific hat, a universal jacket, or even just a signature color or pattern. To know you are able to be picked out of a crowd or have something that makes you “you” to someone else, it’s a great feat and pleasure. So for those who like items of a shinier persuasion… Birds of Valhalla has something special in store for you, or your loved one who does.

Hands get everywhere. Hands get dirty, scuffed, roughed, scraped, burnt, smashed, crushed, crimped, and everything else. Even though hands do a lot of work, they still get some of the best things too. They get to hold another person, show you care, and are said to lead to the heart’s intent and the life you’ve led and will lead. Soft hands “haven’t worked a day in their life” while rough hands “are hard workers and sturdy” all the while jobs and times are changing. The old sayings like that don’t work anymore, now it’s all about how you present yourself. Many people talk with their hands, gesturing and emphasizing while describing things and just expressing as much as they can through their hands. And something that always catches people’s attention is jewelry. On these busy workers of our bodies we place the most important of jewelry pieces sometimes: rings. A ring can show that you’re in a serious relationship, that someone has promised you their world, or that you truly are their one and only. A simple ring can speak volumes and just like a picture is worth a thousand words, a ring can be worth a million. They’re worth the “I love you”s and “I need you”s. They’re worth the “You make me better”s and the “I can’t do this alone”s. Rings speak to so many people that what you make, where you wear it, and what stones are in it add to the story.

If you’ve been around Birds of Valhalla a while, you know our CEO makes sure to carry some of the best crystals on the market. She goes out of her way with the crystal shoppers to make sure you have the best selection to pick from with her crystal lives and the crystals that top her soaps. But what you may not know, is that she expects the same thing from the gems she buys. Yes. She buys gemstones from lapidaries, people who cut gems into the facets or cabochon (rounded or domed smooth top) shapes. And she buys these gems to make special items for those people interested in having a custom ring or pendant made. When you purchase one of these custom pieces, you work with Debra and select the stone, the metal, the setting, and any extra details you like.

So far, customers that have bought this listing have made some beautiful pieces. Even the pieces the jeweler sends that Deb created just to have in the shop have been so well received. From black opals to peridot, to garnet and tanzanite, to ametrine and labradorite, you can have your dream piece of jewelry made just for you. And since these are one of a kind pieces, you will have your own piece of Birds of Valhalla. When you want this done, you’ll need to do a down payment, and you can give Debra a budget to work in when it comes to the stone and setting. With the design details hammered out in the early conversations and planning stages, the CEO sets off to find the best stone for you, get it matched with the setting and metal you choose, and then get it to you in a custom made box. You can choose between sterling silver and 14 karat white or yellow gold for the rings and pendants. When you choose your stone, you choose the cut of the shape: pear or teardrop, princess or square, round, emerald or rectangle, cushion or “rounded” edge square, oval, marquise or two pointed, trillion or triangle, or maybe even heart shaped. Not every stone can be cut into every shape, so it’s best to come with multiple shapes you want for your pendant or ring and make sure you have the budget for some of these stones. You need to think about the four C’s of diamonds when you’re shopping for any gemstone. If you don’t know the four C’s, let me tell you the secrets.

When you go shopping in a jewelry store, it’s best if you have an idea in mind. This way, when the associate comes over and tries to make you buy something bigger and more expensive, you can fire back with your own questions. The Gemological Institute of America wants everyone to know about the four C’s of stone buying: color, cut, clarity, carat. Every stone goes through different hues and shades on a color chart. Sapphires range from black to bright blue, green, and pink. Rubies can be pink all the way to a blood red. The color for each gem factors into price a lot more than you may initially think when you walk into the store. The way the stone is cut also plays a major factor as well. If the cut isn’t right, you won’t get the best sparkle because light won’t bounce around inside of it very well and some shapes are hard to achieve in certain stones. Clarity is the thing you hear people talk about quite often. If you’ve shopped for stones before and heard “VVS” or “IF” they’re talking about how clear the stone is inside. Every crystal is able to have these different materials inside of it called inclusions. Emeralds are known for having a lot of inclusions so the clearer the emerald, the more expensive it is. The same goes for most gems. The more flawless you get, the more the price usually goes up. The scale ranges from Flawless to Included and tells you just how much other stuff will be in your jewel. Finally, you need to think about carat. This isn’t the size of the stone, it’s how much it weighs. One carat of diamond is a different size than one carat of sapphire or labradorite. This is why jewelers use carat weight instead of size. This means they can charge based on the gem material and get the most bang for your buck.

Now I know this is a lot to take in, but don’t worry about it all. You’ll have someone who is there with you to help you design this special piece of jewelry every single step of the way. You control the budget and you have the final say. Right now, if you wanted to go and see a few pieces the CEO has created herself to get some inspiration, you can see four rings here. On the site there is a 2.2 carat peridot in 14kt white gold, a watermelon tourmaline in yellow gold, and two amethysts in the 14kt white gold. The amethysts are priced differently based on that carat weight of the stone, so remember that when you’re designing your own ring. These jewelry pieces come in all whole sizes so make sure you know how to size your rings. And remember, jewelry speaks just like pictures. What story do you want the world to see when they look at your rings?

What Sets Buccellati's Pieces Apart?

Remaining true to Mario's innovative manufacturing techniques, Buccellati's craftsmanship showcases elaborate gold embellishments, textures influenced by Venetian lace, Etruscan motifs, and designs inspired by the beauty of flowers, insects, and animals found in nature. The Estate Buccellati Jewelry is crafted using the finest precious metals and gemstones available.

If you get Buccellati Jewelry for Sale Carmel CA, you should grab the chance.

Trafato or Tylle Creations

This is a technique used to create a pierced gold effect that is often used as a setting for precious stones like cabochons, emeralds, rubies, and rose-cut diamonds. The result is a piece that resembles a honeycomb or delicate lace, giving it a textured and intricate appearance as if the surface has been intricately engraved.

Rigato Finish- The Rigato finish is a distinctive design element commonly found in Buccellati creations. It involves the meticulous carving of parallel lines onto the surface of the precious metal, resulting in a glossy and almost silky appearance. This technique adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the piece.

Powder/Mirror Compact- Buccellati is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, not only in jewelry but also in other items like makeup compacts. The compacts created by Marion and Gianmaria Buccellati, especially during the period from the 1920s to the 1950s, are highly sought after as valuable investment pieces. An exquisite example is the vintage diamond 18K yellow gold compact box from the 1940s, designed by Mario Buccellati. It features a diamond accent closure in 18K white gold adorned with rose-cut diamonds. The case itself is crafted in Buccellati's signature lattice style design using 18K yellow gold, showcasing the brand's timeless elegance.

Inspired From Nature

Nature serves as a constant source of inspiration for the exquisite designs of Buccellati jewelry. From delicate flowers to graceful animals and intricate insects, our pieces beautifully capture the essence of the natural world. Take, for example, our vintage thistle flower gold and silver clip-back earrings, which exude timeless elegance. And let's not

forget our latest addition, the remarkable Mario Buccellati 18K Yellow Gold Maple Leaf Pendant Necklace, a true testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail that Buccellati is renowned for.

Wrapping Up

Buccellati jewelry is not only a symbol of luxury but also a wise investment. In 2019, WWD reported on the most expensive fashion-related items listed for sale. Jewelry reigned supreme on the list, and Buccellati proudly claimed a place of honor. Our collier, priced at $106,575, a Buccellati collar at $106,500, and a ring at $78,517 secured the sixth position. This recognition further solidifies Buccellati's status as a brand synonymous with opulence and prestige.
