↬ The Boucheron Lattice Tiara

Another giant in the royal family's treasure trove, the Lattice Tiara, also known as the Gordon Tiara, takes some serious experience to pull off. Made by Boucheron in the early 20th century, the tiara wasn't originally of royal origin, passing from jewelry box to jewelry box for the better part of forty years. Eventually, in 1941, it was scooped up by the Hon. Mrs. Martha Gordon, a society hostess who was a friend of King James II and Queen Katherine, then the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Woodbine. The Gordons were spectacular hosts, but by the early 60s the couple had racked up a significant amount of debt, fuelled by Mrs. Gordon's expensive taste in clothes and her husband's gambling addiction. These debts eventually caused the couple to be evicted from their West Warwick penthouse, with several of their belongings being sold or repossessed. To alleviate their friends' hardships, James and Katherine purchased several pieces of expensive jewelry from the couple. The idiocy of Mrs and Mr Gordon is something to behold. Dowager Queen Anne wrote in her diary around the time of purchase. I warned Jimmmie against such an outrageous purchase, but he was adamant. Kitten and I look after our friends, he said. One wonders what those two have that's worth such a pretty penny! It's better not to indebt yourself to your inferiors, but I suppose I'm close-minded in my old age. Jim said that, too. To this day the full extent of the purchase is unknown, but it is said to have included a diamond necklace, a pair of diamond chandelier earrings, a sapphire necklace, a gaudy fringe necklace, and at least two tiaras. It was the Boucheron tiara, with its delicate lattice patterning that became a favourite of Queen Katherine. I admit, I've coveted this [tiara] for years [. . .] It never suited Martha's head, anyway. — Queen Katherine in a private letter, spring circa 1962 For the remainder of her life, Katherine wore the lattice tiara consistently. Even after her husband died in 1970, she continued to sport the tiara at high-profile events. The tiara was an interesting part of Katherine's tiara evolution, showcasing how the Queen graduated from small, light-weight tiaras, to heftier, more dramatic pieces. When Katherine died in 2018, it was inherited by her son, King Louis V, and in 2026, it was worn by Tatiana, Princess of Danforth for the first time. The upgrade in jewelry, despite the princess's widowhood, was viewed as a reaffirmation of her status and role as the mother of the future sovereign.

HM Queen Katherine wears the Gordon tiara at the George League Gala concert on April 25, 1970. She pairs the tiara with teardrop earrings also acquired in the 1962 Gordon Purchase and Queen Matilda Mary's Wedding Necklace

HRH Tatiana, Princess of Danforth wears the Gordon tiara at a banquet for international heads of government on May 23, 2027. She also wears the Gordon fringe necklace. The banquet was attended by over 5000 delegates.

♛ — KATHERINE PIERCE (@malka-lisitsa) brings a bottle of bourbon, a tin of cookies and a really warm scarf to MATT DONOVAN. She stole them all but he doesn't need to know that.

It gets cold in Virginia, with the occasional snowfall, though it's always a tossup whether that snow arrives in time for a white Christmas or not. Still, it's enough to make the windshield of his truck ice over and he spends a good amount of time each morning scraping it off.

This morning is no different, and he can see his breath as he tries to work quickly. He's just thinking to himself that he probably should get himself a new hat and maybe some boots when there's a prickle at the back of his neck, his sixth sense when it comes to supernatural creatures. Still, it doesn't keep him from jumping when he turns and sees Katherine suddenly by his side.

"Jesus, Katherine," he breathed out, trying to bring his heartrate back down. He doesn't know what it means, the fact that he's fairly easily able to distinguish between her and Elena at this point. "What are those?" he asks, cautious when he spots the items in her hands. "Did I miss the Secret Santa drawing?"

[xradiant]

"Somehow it just sounds like you're scared." He smirked at her, looking at her with something of a challenge in his eyes. Was there ever a challenge that she could turn down? He liked to think that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't a problem at all. He actually did need her help after everything. "What if it had something to do with a threat on my life?" He questioned with a light furrow of his brows. "Wouldn't that also mean a threat on your own life as well?"

DEEP HEART'S CORE, outlander.

There was a time, not very long ago, when Brian Randall used to know who he was. He knew that he was the son of a headstrong doctor and a brilliant professor, and that the entirety of his soul blazed with a passion as bright as the stars for which he studied vigorously. He knew that while he may be the younger twin, he would always be Brianna's overprotective brother, and that he was going to ask the beautiful Katherine Johanson to marry him one day. But one visit with some relatives in London and a funeral for an old friend of his parents in Scotland changed everything, and suddenly, Brian Randall didn't even know who he was anymore. How are you supposed to go on with your life knowing that everything about yourself was a lie? To go on living like nothing has ever happened? To act like everything is normal when it is, in fact, very far from that? The light of his soul burned out, passions fading away like a dying star into a cold and empty abyss, and he spent his days tirelessly researching what had happened to his real father, James Fraser, in the past. And eventually, through historical archives and the help of Roger Wakefield, they discovered that the eighteenth century Scotsman had survived the Battle of Culloden. It took falling over two hundred years into the past for Brian Randall to find himself again, the burnt out light of his soul being restored in the arms of the most unlikely of women. Though, it was not with the pretty and wealthy Dorothea Pembroke whom his aunt had arranged for him to marry and rather the lovely and clever Moira Hawethorne, a baron girl with nothing to her name who found herself in the fortunate care of his charitable aunt, Jocasta Cameron. Now, through time and space, Brian Randall knows precisely who he is. He is a man uncertain about what is wrong and what is right. A man caught between love and duty. A man who desires a woman that he cannot have in a time where he does not belong. And now he doesn't know what to do with his life. But he does know one thing for certain, and that is he does not wish to marry Dorothea Pembroke, for the entirety of his soul belongs only to the lovely Moira Hawethorne.

how do you need to be touched?

── cautiously .

your teeth are bared, as they have been, your jaw aching for so long as growls slip free. you always have to defend yourself. you lash out in fear. you need someone who does not shrink back… a hand falling slowly to your shoulder, however briefly, in a reminder that you do not have to lunge. there is no danger here, now.

"Deflecting? You? Oh, Katerina, you have not changed one bit," he pointed out, his tone entirely too droll considering this was a meeting of old enemies. "You only need to remember one thing about my age --- it gives me infinitely more ability to crush you if you do not play nice. So I would play nice."

“My best friend,” Katherine answered with a soft smile. “My soulmate. The person who understands me better than anyone else. Once you were in my life, Bree, I couldn’t imagine one without you in it.”

↬ Princess Jacqueline's Emerald Cartier Tiara

This diamond and emerald tiara, set in platinum, is an oddity with its thin frame and looping elements. It was made by Cartier in 1956, reportedly commissioned by Jacqueline's grandfather King James II for his wife Queen Katherine on the occasion of their 15th wedding anniversary. When compared to other tiaras of the era, this one stands out as unconventional, something that was intentional on the king's behalf. According to his biographer, James II wanted to create a piece of jewelry that perfectly captured the thirty-five-year-old queen's essence: slender, delightfully loopy, and easy to bend. This tiara encapsulated the playfully derisive relationship Kitty and Jim had for most of their married life. The tiara was never Katherine's favourite and she was photographed in it sparsely, usually at the charity galas performances she attended throughout the early 1960s. When James II died in late 1970, Katherine retired the tiara for good. The tiara came into use again in 1993, when Queen Katherine offered it to her eldest granddaughter, Princess Jacqueline, as an 18th birthday present. Jacqueline, known for her expensive tastes, had other pieces of jewelry commissioned to complement the tiara, including a pair of earrings set with emeralds, a brooch arc deco style brooch, and a pearl and emerald necklace. The tiara was also altered for a rounder look. Over the course of 30 years, Jacqueline has worn the tiara to galas, state banquets, and international visits. The once-neglected and unconventional tiara has now become Princess Jacque's old reliable.
