An Impressive Edwardian Aquamarine and Diamond Brooch

"Introducing an impressive Edwardian aquamarine and diamond brooch formerly the property of Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor, Vicountess Astor

The pediment with a step cut aquamarine with canted corners, estimated to weigh 87.82 carats, within a millegrained surround of eight cut diamonds, approximately 0.76 carats total, suspending a large briolette aquamarine drop, 5.4cm long, with a banded and pierced scrolled rose cut diamond set cap, suspended from a rose cut diamond bale.

The brooch is a stunning 10.8cm in total length and is estimated at £15,000-20,000 (+fees).

Excellent depth of colour

This classic Belle Epoque jewel was made in 1910, it is however unsigned, and was possibly made in either the US or UK. The mounting is platinum fronted gold, the strength of which allows for a minimal, light setting so showing off the aquamarines to their best effect.

These stones are of top gem quality (probably Brazilian) with excellent depth of colour; today aquamarines such as these would be designated ‘Martha Rocha’ in colour. Martha Rocha, was a Brazilian beauty queen in the 1950s, and she was known for her brilliant, captivating eyes."

To coincide with the recent release of the Crystal Creations pack I wanted to put together a couple of fun lookbooks inspired by birthstones. My mind first went to whimsigoth, but since I've already done one of those recently I instead went with the decade that oozed glittery glamour - the 1920s. Want more good time gals and fabulous flappers? You can check out part two here.

Garnet was believed to be a protective stone, which made it popular amongst warriors and royalty. Red variety garnets are also associated with vitality, love and light.

Amethyst was favoured by the ruling class thanks to its purple colour, which has long been a hue connected to royalty. Over time it has also come to be associated with spirituality, mental clarity and healing.

Aquamarine comes from the Latin word for seawater and as such, was thought to protect seafarers. The stone can also be associated with martial happiness and superior intellect.

Diamond is probably the most well known of the precious gems. Because of their association with strength and eternal love, they're a popular choice for engagement and wedding rings.

Emerald has a legend that says wearing it will imbue the wearer with heightened intelligence and objectivity. Others use the stone to promote healing, while some even believe it allows the wearer to predict the future.

Pearl is often valued for its unblemished surface and colouring, so naturally it is most commonly connected to qualities like honesty, purity and wisdom.

“As Philip was marrying a future monarch, the engagement ring he chose needed to be a significant piece. His mother Princess Alice came to his rescue and gave him one of the tiaras that she had received as a wedding present half a century earlier. It was a diamond-and-aquamarine tiara given to Alice by Tsar Nicholas I and Tsarina Alexandra of Russia. Alexandra was Alice’s aunt; Nicholas was a first cousin of the groom, Prince Andrew.

The tiara was dismantled to make the three-carat solitaire with five smaller diamonds on either side set in platinum. Philip designed it himself with jeweller Philip Antrobus.”

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.

DAY 8 - Favourite Luxembourg tiara

The Grand Duchess Adelaide Tiara

Made between 1865-1870, the tiara features a brilliant and rose-cut diamond bay leaf and berry design, set in white and yellow gold, on either side of a removable center. The center features a large cushion-cut sapphire, framed by diamonds, that can reportedly be swapped out for an aquamarine.
