Thankyou8 for such a detailed answer. I will look further. --Previous Message-- : Joye, thank you very much for posting those : pictures of Victoria, Princess Royal, as : Crownprincess of Prussia. The first and : second ones are new to me. I agree with you, : jinja, that only the second one is a tiara. : But I donīt think itīs a snowflake design, I : suppose itīs a kind of flower wreath. : Regrettably, pictures of the queens (or : empresses) and princesses of prussia in full : jewellery a quite rare. : Although etiquette was very important to her : I havenīt found any picture of the full : bejewelled Queen, later Empress Augusta. : Some poor pictures with pearls or the : prussian diamond tiara. Probably some of her : jewels had moved to Baden and than to : Schweden and Denmark. : Of Victoria, Kaiserin Friedrich, there some : more (Laszlo Portait, Coronation photograph : Wilhelm I.), but not nearly enough to get an : overview of her wedding gifts and the : inheritance she got from Queen Elisabeth of : Prussia. : Viktoria Auguste, wife of Wilhelm II., is : portrayed serveral times, as painting and : photograph. I found always the same : pictures, with prussian diamond diadem, with : emerald wreath tiara (parts still existing), : with large swallow (?) diamond tiara and the : trefoil tiara. There must have been a lots : more. : To say with Cato, furthermore, I consider : that the prussian topic must be worked on. : : : --Previous Message-- : I think only the second picture shows a : tiara. : Where have we seen that snowflake type : pattern recently? : : The first headpiece looks like fresh flowers : and a strand of pearls. The third is a : diamond riviere. The fourth appears to be : more flowers, maybe on a jeweled velvet : band. : : :
