: 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.

: 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.
