Rare creations of luxury jewelry; 19th-20th century tiaras worth admiring

How many beautiful creations of jewellers of the past we have not yet seen. Many of them delight the eyes of connoisseurs of beauty at all sorts of exhibitions in Europe. Another part of the precious splendour flaunted in jewellery stores that specialise in antiques. And the lion's share of unrivalled tiaras of the 19th and 20th centuries, which we have not yet seen, have long ago found new owners. Ice brilliants, seductively wine amethysts, transparent celestial aquamarines, magical, as if forest nymphs, emeralds, in these open diadems of expensive stones are presented so skilfully that it is impossible to take your eyes away. Therefore, I suggest you and me, dear readers, not to deny ourselves the pleasure and consider every fabulous detail of rare jewellery. Mesmerising, captivating, truly royal. Diamond tiara with exquisite floral motifs is a hymn of jewellery art of the late Victorian era. In 1885, jewellers revealed to the world the dream of every fashionable woman from a wealthy family. The graceful, light tiara resembles a small crown. Diamond buds and interlacing twigs with leaves are symbols of the natural beginning. And a large, drop-shaped diamond in the centre of the composition, crowning the tiara, reminds us of jewels for true aristocrats. By the way, in 2018, the diamond creation was offered for sale in a jewellery salon, and for sure, in the near future, found its buyer. French things are no less good, so I would like to present you a tiara kakosnik, which was created by the masters of Cartier in the distant 1914th year. Noble platinum sparkles with a multitude of antique-cut diamonds. The annaix has been given a very unusual shape, and therefore the crown exudes a special charm. The black enamel accentuates our attention to the pattern in the form of sprigs of an endless tree. And 15 rounded snow-white pearls, natural of course, do not allow us to doubt that in front of us is a kakosnik with ancient motifs. Although this rare piece of jewellery was created in the first half of the 20th century. And here is another pride of the Cartier firm, a more massive, but still airy open tiara with a scattering of pure white diamonds. The impressive curls born of precious stones are crowned by not at all small, sparkling inserts of diamonds. And the centrepiece of the whole composition, a diamond of seductive size, is surrounded by its beautiful brethren. Well, the high tiara, I would like to say a crown, also decorated with diamond curls, is dated 1905. And it was also created in France. What do you think of the magnificent, magical emeralds that adorned the diamond platinum miracle in 1915? The precious tiara from the World War I era beckons us once again with its shining motifs of unopened buds and twisted stems. And the part of the pattern in the form of buds or fans is designed to draw the lady's thoughts back to the origins of Mother Nature. Yes, the dashing wartime people especially needed beautiful things. Oh, these charming anaphysts, you must be as mesmerized by them as I am. The fabulous tiara with seven stones of a tantalizing violet wine hue is an old thing, and it appeared around 1870. The 9th Duke of Bedford, Francis Russell, gave French jeweler Jean-Baptiste Fossen a large commission for an open tiara. Perhaps he wanted to please his spouse or sweetheart. The jewellery masterpiece was based on an even older family piece, an ornament from the family treasury dated 1830. The result is magnificent, seven large anaphysts, beautiful and noble, surrounded by diamond motifs. The stones are set in gold and silver, and the diamond leaves and twigs burning with fire remind us of bunches of ripe, juicy grapes. In the same period, or rather in the same decade of the 1830s-1840s, the jewellery firm Chomette created a precious set, the Lichtenberg Tiara, and a pair of lovely rings. The House of Chomette, as we know, created the finest imperial jewellery for Napoleon Bonaparte. The base of the tiara is so thin and weightless that it is completely invisible in the hair. The central flower is a chic element of the whole jewellery composition. Green inclusions of emeralds and diamond drops, frozen under the leaves, create a picture of fresh bursts or tiny unopened buds. And the rings attract attention with drop-shaped and oval stones. In the finale, I would like to introduce you to a modern creation of Belgian jewellers, who, as it seems to me, have caught an invisible thread of luxury and nobility from the past. Thus, in 2009, Princess Isabella Deline de la Tramoyle added a sparkling white-gold tiara to her precious collection. The central 73.2-8-carat aquamarine stirs the imagination. Smaller aquamarines and over 300 pristine diamonds are intertwined in a delicate pattern with swirls that look like treble clefs. This is how the true music of jewellery art comes to life.
