Good for him. Interesting design, too. Love the hanging emerald pendants.
Why is it that we dont see any member of the royal family wearing Queen Victoria's small crown? Why doesnt the queen wear it. I think its a beautiful crown. Do they still have it?
The coral parure is really impressive! I would like to learn more about the jewels of the Royal house of Madagascar. To be honest with you, I didn't even know that Madagascar had a royal family.
does anybody know where the crown jewels are housed?
Can anyone help me find the Crown of Pepin (Charlemagne's son, made King of Italy)? I would love to see it in its current location.
I hope this image of it shows up.
I just recently discovered the existence of this crown while reading biographical material on Pepin, second son of Charlemagne. Pepin and his son Bernard were both crowned with this crown, then it went to one of Louis I's sons, after Bernard was killed by Louis I. I really love its combination of gold leaves and natural elements with the intricate, wavey geometric patterns and the discreet use of what I assume are rubies or carnelians, but would love to know more about it.
