That tiara dates from the 19th century and had a guide price of $24,000 to $36,000
It sold for $120,650!
It would have been a wonderful addition to the Belgian jewel chest.

Lovely tiara / necklace. I agree, this would have been a great addition to the Belgian or Danish collection.

As revealed by Vincent Meylan and Carol Woolton, the Anglesey Diamond Négligé is going on Auction at Sotheby’s in Geneva in November.

An heirloom of the Marquesses of Anglesey for over a century and a half, it is believed that the Négligé may be a part of the legendary Collier de La Reine at the heart of the ‘Affair of the Diamond Necklace’ and the subsequent French Revolution.

This is really a spectacular piece. I had never seen it before but it looks indeed somewhat simular to the famous necklace of (not) Marie Antoinette.

 

[An Ard Ri]

It looks similar alright but I think most of the French Crown Jewels were pilfered in 1792 when the jewel vaults were broken into and most of the gems were then broken up.
In saying that some of the diamonds could well indeed have been part of the famous necklace of Marie Antoinette of Austria.

Such an unusual and beautiful piece of jewellery. I wonder what are the chances of it being sold to a collection or family where it can occasionally be seen by the public.

If I had a penny for every time I see beautiful pieces on auction and go "Oh, Philippe and Mathilde should buy that", I'd be able to buy a penthouse on Madison Avenue!

That's a beautiful tiara that the young Princesses can use as alternate to their main tiaras, I hope Princess Eléonore receives a tiara with coloured stones for her 18th birthday.

 

[Stefan]

, I hope Princess Eléonore receives a tiara with coloured stones for her 18th bibirthday

If she gets ger own tiara at all. I don't think she will attend State Banquets so she will have close to zero occasions to wear one

Don't make me cry!

Her father is King and there's still many years before Elisabeth's future children are adults, I expect to see her around...even if just a bit.

I don't know how much use the younger Belgian RF children will have to justify individually allocated tiaras. i think Mathilde is better off just collecting a pool of jewellery and then lending out to various family members, as appropriate.
