From inheritance to wedding gifts to official court commissions, It would be impossible to venture to enumerate the royal jewels of the Grand Duchy. Considered one of the most impressive in the world, the collection of the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg cannot be equalled. The holder, Maria Teresa is spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a set. Details on this stunning slew of people.
One collection jewellery of surprising breadth and diversity
Weddings, various celebrations, national holidays, official visits... Every great occasion has its jewel. Holder of nearly twenty pieces, the Grand Duchess Maria Teresa does not hesitate to share her fabulous appanage with her daughter and daughter-in-law, Princess Alexandra and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie. Among her possessions are a number of pieces of jewelry designed to be modular and wear differently. This is particularly the case with the pearl and diamond tiara, whose precious stones can be replaced by other pearls. The sapphire tiara necklace can also be worn in various ways, sometimes around the neck, sometimes in the hair. Even the central diamond of the spiral Belgian tiara can be removed from it and then mounted on a ring or brooch.
The Nassau sapphire tiara, the centerpiece of the collection
Maria Teresa loves the greatest jewels and wears them proudly, as long as the occasion is right. The centrepiece of the collection, made in the 1860s, was the subject of mild controversy at the Swedish Court; on 15 April 2008, during an official State visit, Maria Teresa arrives at the dinner adorned with said majestic diadem... And Queen Silvia of Sweden doesn't! The Luxembourg aristocrat rectified the situation by taking off his tiara for the official photograph of his visit.
