Relationship to the second half of the nineteenth century, the crown has a rare origin because it belongs to 2 of Europe’s Royal Collections.

It’s probably that it was given to Maria Vittoria dal Pozzo as a marriage current on the event of her marriage in 1867 to Amadeo I of Savoy, Duke of Aoste, who would later turn out to be King of Spain. It’s believed to have been created for over 150 years by Musy Padre e Figli, the Palace Jeweler of Turin and one of many oldest jewelers in Europe.

This magnificent tiara encompasses a splendidly luxurious motif of stepped scrolls of candy, round and single-cut diamonds within the form of a pillow. Mmm, have a look at these chunky outdated minimize diamonds! My favorite. It’s assured to be a sparkler.

Every of the stepped diamond scrolls has a drop-shaped pure pearl within the heart. Pure pearls of this measurement have lengthy been valued for his or her rarity and luxurious.

These explicit pearls are described as “considerably baroque” in reference to the slight irregularity of their form, a characteristic I discover significantly pleasing.
