Sunderland's Royal Jewel Vault (22/∞) ♛

↬ Gordon Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara

Many tiaras within the royal vault are instantly recognizable, being worn by noted members of the family for most of their adult lives. Some, however, are more mysterious and have yet to be worn in public at all. The Gordon Aquamarine Kokoshnik is one of the more evasive tiaras in the vault, with its existence only being hinted at for the better part of seventy years. The tiara didn't enter royal hands through inheritance but through a substantial acquisition of jewellery. In 1962, King James II and Queen Katherine purchased an unknown amount of high jewels from their friend, Dame Martha Gordon. One of the acquired tiaras, the Gordon Lattice Tiara, became a favourite of the Queen, but a second aquamarine tiara was never worn in public. The reason for this is unknown, it's possible the tiara wasn't to the Queen's taste or that she did wear the tiara in private. Whatever the reason, evidence of the tiara was fickle until the early 21st century. However, there is evidence of the tiara's previous owner wearing the jewel. The well-travelled Mrs. Gordon was a frequent guest in royal circles and she was noted to be wearing a "halo-shaped tiara of aquamarines and diamonds" to the 1954 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Glencairin. In 1939, Martha commissioned the tiara from Boucheron after she was awe-struck by a similar piece owned by Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden. The tiara was recreated down to the enormous aquamarines and delicate lattice patterning. In early 2004, the tiara had a rare opportunity to emerge from the vault when Courtney Borroughs-Parker, the fiancée of King Louis V's second son Prince Phillip, chose it as her preferred bridal diadem. Media reports around the time claimed that Courtney had "fallen in love" with a tiara "with huge aquamarines that complimented her blue eyes perfectly". Many assumed the aquamarine tiara was the more popular Georgiyevna Tiara, but it was later revealed to be a "mystery tiara" that had never been seen before. However, in the weeks that followed, it was reported that Courtney had run into a roadblock in the form of Queen Irene's senior dresser, Diana Keating. Mrs. Keating, known as the gatekeeper of the royal family's private jewels, refused to clear the tiara for Courtney's use. Why Keating made this choice is unknown, but the ensuing drama cultivated in Queen Irene scolding her future daughter-in-law for "causing a scene". Ultimately, King Louis V purchased a tiara new tiara for Courtney. This tiara, known as the Woodbine Diamond Tiara, was the only tiara Courtney wore publicly during her marriage. The aquamarine kokoshnik once again returned to the vault, and hasn't been whispered of since. When or if the tiara will finally get its day in the sun remains a mystery, hopefully, we won't have to wait another 70 years.

“It's really sad what happened to the sisters, Queen Astrid of Belgium and Princess Märtha of Sweden and Norway. Astrid had a short reign and her life was tragically cut short too soon. On the other hand, Martha also died prematurely, without having the opportunity to become Queen Consort of Norway, despite her expectations.” - Text & Image Submitted by cenacevedo15

The picture is from Crown Prince Haakon’s 18th birthday in 1991. The Norwegian Royal Court released the guest list and we are going to have THREE TIARA DEBUTS and if Maud wears a tiara then there will be four!!!  I can’t think of any other event that has ever had so many first tiaras like this one.  I do wish that more of the Spanish royals were able to come.  It would have been nice for Leonor and Sofia to meet their generation even if they are too young to wear tiaras.  The Danish kids are missing too, I would have expected at least Prince Christian to attend. Anyway, TIARAS!!!

THE MOST KAWAII CAKE I'VE EVER SEEN, AND IT ISN'T EVEN JAPANESE.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the Swedish Princess Cake, a.k.a., "Prinsesstårta," by Sprinkle Bakes. Recipe + 📸: Heather Baird.

MINI-OVERVIEW: Swedish Princess Cake (Prinsesstårta) is a classic Scandinavian torte with layers of sponge cake, raspberry jam, vanilla custard, and whipped cream. It is traditionally dome-shaped and covered with a layer of sweet marzipan tinted green.

SHORT HISTORY: "Prinsesstårta has its origins in the 1920’s with Jenny Akerstrom, a Swedish home economics guru who was an instructor to the three daughters of Prince Carl, Duke of Vastergotland: the Princesses Margaretha, Martha and Astrid. The cake was renamed Princess Cake rather than Gron Tarta or Green Cake because the Princesses loved the cake so much. Currently, the cake is baked all over Sweden and is popular for special occasions."

OTMAA Contemporaries: Marta, Astrid and Carl of Sweden.

They were second cousins of OTMAA, their mother Ingeborg of Denmark being a first cousin of Nicholas II. They had an older sister, Margaretha (1899) who seems to have had a friendly correspondence with Maria Nikolaevna who was almost exactly the same age: Margaretha was born 25 June 1899, and Maria 26 June (14 Old Style). 

Marta (or Martha) was born in 1901, the same year as Anastasia; Astrid in 1905, making her slightly younger than Alexei; and Carl in 1911. 

Marta would eventually become Crown Princess of Norway (she died before her husband Olav ascended the throne, so was never Queen), and Astrid would become Queen of the Belgians as the first wife of Leopold III.
