    Princess Irene's tiaras Archived Message

    Posted by Johan on July 23, 2012, 2:03 pm, in reply to "Re: Alexia of Greece's diamond tiara"

    Princess Irene seems to own two tiaras: the circle tiara and the diamond and pearl necklace/tiara.

    I found this picture of her and Sofia both in eveningwear. Sofia is wearing the Prussian tiara but i don't recognise the tiara Irene is wearing.

    : It seems that the small circle diamond tiara
    : from Queen Sophie might have been inherited
    : by Princess Irene, logical since her older
    : sister Sofia was presented with the prussian
    : tiara and the grander jewels went to the
    : Queens.
    :
    : Infanta Elena aparently borrowd it from her
    : aunt to wear at the prewedding gala of
    : Frederick of Wurtemberg and Marie of Wied in
    : 1993, it was the first time this tiara was
    : seen since the 1960's.

    : Or perhaps there are a few pieces not worn
    : for
    : awhile which are intended for Philippos and
    : Theodora - something from Irene, perhaps?
    : Or something from Queen Ingrid which hasn't
    : yet been worn by the recipient?
    :
    : And do we know if Tatiana received anything?

    : Thanks Clemetine for the lovely picture of
    : Princess Alexia.
    : The information I have is that this tiara
    : was an 18th anniversary gift from her
    : parents and was purchased for her. I have no
    : information on the jeweler that made it, nor
    : if it was new or purchased on an auction of
    : classical jewels.
    : I find it a lovely classical style diamond
    : tiara for a young princess.
    :
    : I always wonder why the King and Queen never
    : did the same for their youngest daughter
    : Princess Theodora. Although she has far
    : diferent interests than attending galas, she
    : did had to borrow the danish turquoise tiara
    : from her aunt recently. There seems to be a
    : lack of smaller tiaras for the younger
    : princesses. I will assume that Princess
    : Marie Chantal will wear the fabulous diamond
    : tiara of Queen Sophie on grand ocasions from
    : now on, and her own fringe tiara for lesser
    : ocasions. Princess Alexia has her own tiara.
    : So, Princesses Theodora, Tatiana and the
    : future wife of Prince Philipos will have to
    : share the corsage tiara or borrow some from
    : aunt Margareth...
    : Anyway perhaps they will not attend gala
    : events at the same time, so they can share.

    : There's a debate on Facebook (Royal Jewels
    : Fan
    : Club) about the diamond tiara worn by the
    : princess on each royal events for many
    : years. Is it a Greek royal family heirloom,
    : since I can't find any picture of her mother
    : the Queen Anne-Marie wearing it ? Or was it
    : purchased ?
