Prince Albert had an exquisite sense of design and all of the jewels he designed for his wife are testimony to that. Another of his tiara designs for her had rubies: the Strawberry Leaf tiara. Their youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice, inherited it and its whereabouts is now unknown. 😢
We most certainly do have emerald tiaras. There is the Greville emerald tiara that Eugenie wore for her wedding and also the Vladimir tiara which has interchangeable Pearl or emerald drops. Queen Elizabeth wore the emeralds on a visit to Canada.
OMG, those tiaras are stunning🌻It would be amazing if Catherine, Princess of Wales wore those pieces, she could do them justice. Thank you for showing these to us. I agree with you, who wouldn't want to own a tiara ?
I wonder if the Fife’s would allow the tiara to be worn? With Catherine, the Princess of Wale’s, green eyes, it would look spectacular!! Also with her rich brown hair with it’s reddish highlights. Stunning. I agree the emeralds are definitely scratched. They probably definitely have some inclusions, but for Sotheby’s to say what they did, they must be remarkably clear. I know I’d love to wear them! 😉 From Oregon with ♥️ Jessica
@@camlacasse3760 But not the Fife Emerald tiara, gifted to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert. She passed it down to her granddaughter Alexandra, The Duchess of Fife, and it remains in the Fife family’s possession, but is loaned to the crown for display purposes. The Royal house of Windsor does not own it and Queen Camilla is unlikely to ever be able to wear it, in my humble understanding.
If I'm not mistaken (as I don't know the actual piece) that emerald in the brooch isn't "damaged." Emeralds are rarely clean, clear stones. They almost always have inclusions in them that make them look like they are cracked and/or murky. It's just the natural state of the stone. You can always tell a lab created emerald because their too perfect looking. No real emerald is that clear.
That's probably true, but I think it's also a sign of wear, which is amazing! I love that these jewels have been around for so long and have been part of a family's heritage! It makes them so much more special than something that's perfect! Thanks for watching!!
@RoyalFashionNews The inclusions in the emeralds are known as "jardin." All emeralds are expected to have some kind of inclusions. They are indeed a delicate stone. I'm sure they are treated with the utmost care.
@@mariaadam1047Agree, emeralds are expected to have these inclusions. Someone who reports on Royal jewels should know this and not spread myths about “broken stones.”
I doubt that the scratches on the surface of the emeralds are natural inclusions. Those, imo, are definitely signs of usage. The only old stones I would not expect to have signs of wear and tear would be diamonds and garnets.
100% the reappearance of the Strathmore Rose tiara makes your 2023 list! That ruby tiara looked amazing on the Queen Mother. The shimmer, the glam. She wasn't the most glamorous of women, but she rocked it that day. ❤
It's happened before, and I would love for it to happen again!! They're just a couple of doors down from Catherine, after all! Surely, she can pop over there and wear them out to a State Visit or something!
Highly unlikely, it’s considered an artifact now sometimes put on display, just a few years ago it hand to be worked on just be safe for display, loose gems and such.
The Ruby necklace that QEii is wearing is the Baring Ruby necklace that she bought to go with her Burmese Ruby tiara. I would love to see the Oriental circlet on Princess Catherine, combined with the Greville Ruby necklace.
I am watching Princess Madeleine’s wedding from 2013 on UA-cam, first time for me. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Tiaras, beautiful gowns, even a baby!❤❤❤
Queen Victoria's emerald tiara and the rest of the parure was given first to her daughter Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll in 1893. Louise left the parure to her great niece Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife, grand daughter of Edward VII via his daughter another Princess Louise. Keep the tiara videos coming, there is no such thing too many tiaras!
I am immensely sad that so many of Queen Victoria’s jewels are no longer within the main line of the royal family. I feel like more of them should have been added to the jewels owned by the sovereign.
Yes I agree. She left so many jewels to the girls in her family, and that took them out of the royal collection. Queen Mary did it with her daughter as well. Such a shame because some of them are simply stunning. I think Pss Catherine would look amazing in them
History is so fascinating... ❤❤❤❤ I would love to see that Emerald tiara on Catherine princess of Wales head 🤩🤩🤩... It's fascinating I didn't know about emeralds being so particular, thanks Britney ❤
My sister-in-laws wedding rings have at least 9 Emeralds in her rings and only 1 Diamond all of the Emeralds are totally clear but have small black spots that look like flakes of pepper and that's normal to see Them ,I was a jeweler over 27 years .
Emeralds are my birth stone. I wanted to get an Emerald engagement ring, but working as an RN, it wouldn't be practical. So, I have three Emerald chips on the side of my engagement ring.
Ooooh Brittany! l love your Tiara Tuesdays. lt is very interesting to learn the history behind each piece. l really like that oriental ruby circlet also. l do NOT like how they made that ruby one pictured on Camilla here. There's just something about it that doesnt look right. lt looks stark, rather than dainty. Thank you for all the work you do. :)
I’m really sad that I’ve had 2 opportunities to go to the tiara room in the 0:01 Louvre but didn’t know it was there. I would love to try on that sapphire and diamond parure. It is gorgeous!
Thank you, I have been waiting for these tiara's for ages. I saw the emerald and diamond tiara and jewels at Kensington Palace in 2018 and I love them!
When you look at the Queen Mother, watch how she takes over the room. Her royal presence is off the charts. Her body language is amazing...very grand, flashing the jewels and furs, It's would have been good to be Queen back then.
Diadem of diamonds and emeralds designed by Princr Albert for Victoria. There is also a matching emerald suite - a necklace formed of nine oval emerald clusters each set within a border of cushion-shaped diamonds, pendant earrings and a 20ct emerald and diamond brooch.
Thank you for sharing these BEAUTIFUL tiaras. I was really surprised to know that some jewelry tiaras and coronets were modified for "modernity" purposes. All of it is so fascinating!!
I love jewellery and so does my twin sister. We were born in may and my twin loves emeralds and I love rubies so we would both be sorted ❤. I love seeing the royal 👸🏼 jewellery and I much prefer the tira Liz 2nd wore compared to the one Cam had tbh . Both of them were stunning the Emerald’s were particularly beautiful, Prince Albert definitely had a good eye and taste xxx
girl you are hoping for a tiara for Christmas, i am actually planning to buy a replica of the mellerio daiamond cocoshonic tiara ❤ merry Christmas to you brittany
I love emeralds and rubies they are gorgeous!! Victoria Tear drop emerald tiara! Then you get the rest. Wow I love emeralds. I have a collection of emeralds and the natural unset gorgeous. Rubies and Diamonds they are gorgeous no opels they at. I love the rubies on Queen Camilla this would have been gorgeous! Love these. Thanks!
The ruby necklace was purchased at auction. It’s not originally opals. The opal necklace you are talking about was altered by Queen Alexandra to rubies. The Queen mother wore it often and the Queen wore it after her death. Camilla has worn it a few times over the last year. It’s a single line of large rubies in diamond surround. Very very large rubies. It’s paired with a very large ruby brooch and earrings that also once upon a time consisted of opals. Alexandra really hated opal. Victoria left those jewels to the crown. They are not the kings personal property, but are for the use of the reigning sovereign at any given time. The queen mother was so fond of the rubies that she held on to them after her daughter became queen. The queen famously remarked “mummy will give them back one day” lol
When I attended the theatre with the queen she wore a green tiara en suite . I do not think it was this one. They were so large they looked faux. That was back in 1987.
I thought that was you holding the emerald tiara for a sec! Is that the one Meghan wanted to wear? Prince Albert was indeed wonderful with designing jewels. P.S. I hear you. If I ever had a (real) tiara, I would wear it all day, every day 😂
I love your tiara and fashion videos. I know you’re busy with your main channel, but I would love it if you were able to devote like three days a month to fashion/tiara videos
It's not hard to tell a natural emerald from a synthetic one. I prefer a smaller real one. The inclusions, defects are what really give them character. The fake ones are "too perfect" and just don't look quite right to me. On another note, Victoria lured out with having such a talented husband. His designs were extraordinary.
I am a Libra, born in October. My birthstone is Opal. My mothers is Opal also I was always taught that you can only wear an Opal if it’s your birthstone, or if it is given to you. if those weren’t the circumstances, it was bad luck.
You have a short memory😊you said the British royal family don’t have an emerald tiara.Not only did Eugenie wear an emerald kokoshnik one,the Vladimir tiara has been worn frequently by the late queen with drop emeralds.
ERROR at 4:15 They do own famous and very valuable emerald tiaras including the Greville Emerald kokoshnik with its 93.70-carat emerald centre stone (Pss Eugenie's wedding tiara), and also the Vladimir tiara with 15 large Cambridge Emerald drops frequently used by the late Queen. There is also the more modest Gloucester emerald bandeau
I love the idea of an infinity ring. I noticed yours was not bright at all though Looked like sterling silver and not that great looking rhinestones. I went to site. The ring there looks fantastic! Says it is made of sterling silver with 18K vermeil white gold. Have you had yours for awhile? Special order. hmm. Is there a way to make sure the stones and metal are bright and stay bright? Or are you stuck with whatever they deliver? Or requires very specific cleaner to keep the vermeil intact? Never considered a lab made diamond before but that infinity setting is really unique. I love pave set stones! Are lab grown diamonds graded? What is the cut used in those pave stones? Site didn't offer a lot of details.
The emerald tiara is gorgeous. My birthstone is also emerald. I have several emerald jewelry pieces. My parents gave me an emerald ring for Christmas one year, and my then husband, now ex, freaked out, saying that it looked like an engagement ring. No, it didn't. It was a small emerald solitaire that was too big for my ring finger. Insecure males, sigh.
Of course the BRF has an emerald tiara. More than one, actually. The Greville Emerald Kokoshnik as worn by Princess Eugenie of York on her wedding day. And the Grandduchess Vladimir Tiara in the emerald setting. Also, the name of the famous 19th century painter is Winterhalter, not Windhalter.
I love the Christmas theme tiara Tuesday!! I usually don’t prefer the colorful jewel tiaras - the diamonds and pearls are so much classier in my opinion, but that emerald tiara is winning me over! I don’t like the rest of the set - it’s too much.
I didn't catch on to which Victoria until the title "Queen" was said... Facepalm hereby applied, now I admit that the Crown Princess Victoria would wear these superbly! Myself, I'll take a saphire tiara or one with nice pin-purple rubies. If it does not appear for Christmas I guess I will slowly start making my own opal tiara.
Love your videos-keep them coming.I'm not trying to be petty as these couple of points don't affect the quality in the least but they annoy me! Sothebys isn't sewthebys,it's suthebys and the oriental circlet doesn't have Mongol arches (is there even such a thing?),it's Mogul arches.
Elizabeth the 2nds designe choices in tiaras were In my opinion tacky her aquamarine tiara is just too mutch the stones are fabulous but they waisted on a very contemporary style wear as queen Victoria's tiaras are some of my favourites especially that emerald beauty.
That tiara should probably never be worn again simply because of its historical value, age, and fragility. One drop or hard bump could absolutely shatter those delicate emeralds and it would be ruined. On the inheritance tax. Absolutely ridiculous and such a shame that the UK cannot seem to abolish it. These tiaras should absolutely stay within noble and royal families who can care for them and not let culture be sold off to the highest bidder. What an absolute shame that some of the most beautiful works have been auctioned off never to be seen again. Collect taxes on earned gains and leave priceless ancient assets alone. But then again I’m just an American and we went to war over this government’s taxation practices.
I believe this and two others now on loan at Kensington Palace may very well return to the main line of the royal family via an arrangement done by state and the branches of family who has loaned them to Kensington Palace for the time being.
Of course it does. They also own the Grandduchess Vladimir Tiara which comes in three settings: Without any gemstone drops/pendants (en tremblant), with pearl drops, and with emerald drops.
That was one of the 10000 things that made Mememe see red. She wanted that tiara that had been promised to Beatrice, so the Queen said no which started the Harkle tantrum, in which Hawwy said “What Meghan wants Meghan gets.” 🤮🤮🤣😂🤣
I wish the British RF were as generous with their tiaras as the Swedish RF, where the princesses, including the King's sisters, regularly get to wear the tiaras. Why hide the jewellery, if it gives the public so much joy to see the various pieces?
Because of the current cost of living crisis in the UK, it’s considered bad form to flaunt the jewels right now. That’s why there was a “no tiaras” rule at KC3’s coronation earlier this year. Better times and less civil unrest should see a return of the tiaras.
The British monarchy has at least 2 Emerald Tiaras. The Duchess Vladimir 😂 Tiara when worn with the Emerald drops and the Greville Koklshnik Tiara that Princess Beatrice or Eugenie wore to her wedding..I get those two confused
Even the all diamond ones are Christmas Tiaras because of their sparkle, I seriously dislike that Ruby Oriental Tiara. I dont like the button tiara of Sweden either. I love most of them.
Lisa Kayser This lady (Brittany) has two great YT channels and she’s good at it ! I really don’t like her squeaky, high pitched voice, and she talks so fast she ends up mispronouncing words. I turn my volume really low, because her voice and the way she speaks really irritates me, it’s like torture: NAILS scratching on a BLACKBOARD ‼️ PS: Voice instructor coach would help Brittany improve the sound of her voice!
I simply do not have sufficient funds or access to credit to design the type of tiara that I would like to have. I doubt the type of gemstone that I would like even exists on Planet Earth 🙆🏾♀️. The type of budget I need is a small country's annual GDP to cover costs.
Prince Albert had an exquisite sense of design and all of the jewels he designed for his wife are testimony to that. Another of his tiara designs for her had rubies: the Strawberry Leaf tiara. Their youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice, inherited it and its whereabouts is now unknown. 😢

I am a Libra, born in October. My birthstone is Opal. My mothers is Opal also I was always taught that you can only wear an Opal if it’s your birthstone, or if it is given to you. if those weren’t the circumstances, it was bad luck.
I also heard that opals are unlucky if you purchase them, but if gifted to you, no harm will befall.
Ooh I didn't knew that. My daughter is a Libra too 🥰.
My birthstone is sapphire. I’m lucky because they come in many, many colours. 😊
I really love the ruby one. It so delicate. I am an emerald person but am not mad about that emerald one. It looks a bit heavy.

Because of the current cost of living crisis in the UK, it’s considered bad form to flaunt the jewels right now. That’s why there was a “no tiaras” rule at KC3’s coronation earlier this year. Better times and less civil unrest should see a return of the tiaras.
The British monarchy has at least 2 Emerald Tiaras. The Duchess Vladimir 😂 Tiara when worn with the Emerald drops and the Greville Koklshnik Tiara that Princess Beatrice or Eugenie wore to her wedding..I get those two confused
The British Monarchy has the emerald tiara that Eugenie wore for her wedding.
I really want princess Beatrice or Eugenia or Princess Charlotte to wear these tiaras
❤❤❤
Money's no object . . .
Is it just me or is there no sound on this video???
The British Royals have an Emerald tiara,Princess Eugenie wore it at her wedding.
Even the all diamond ones are Christmas Tiaras because of their sparkle, I seriously dislike that Ruby Oriental Tiara. I dont like the button tiara of Sweden either. I love most of them.
Eh yeah the royal family had emerald tiaras. Princess Eug wore one of them.
1150 British pounds in 1845 would be approx. 173,000 pounds today or approx. $220,000 US.
Isn’t this the piece that MM was insisting on wearing? I know it was an emerald tiara.
I do fellows all the royal family rules

They need to give back the diamonds and rubies that was stolen 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️💯💯💯💯
Get over it, ancient history !!
Putting a tiara on Camilla is like putting lipstick on a pig…it will never look good
You’re SS (sewer squaddie) aren’t you? I recognize your name. Stop trolling. Stay with your own kind !
lol what’s up with your inability to pronounce Sotheby’s 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
What's up with the speaker voice?
The person speaking is obnoxious
Lisa Kayser This lady (Brittany) has two great YT channels and she’s good at it !
I really don’t like her squeaky, high pitched voice, and she talks so fast she ends up mispronouncing words. I turn my volume really low, because her voice and the way she speaks really irritates me, it’s like torture: NAILS scratching on a BLACKBOARD ‼️
PS: Voice instructor coach would help Brittany improve the sound of her voice!
I simply do not have sufficient funds or access to credit to design the type of tiara that I would like to have. I doubt the type of gemstone that I would like even exists on Planet Earth 🙆🏾♀️. The type of budget I need is a small country's annual GDP to cover costs.
