This Necklace/Tiara was a wedding gift from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to their sister-in-law, Duchess Alexandrine, and was worn by their own granddaughter-in-law, Princess Victoria Adelaide, Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, remaining in the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family until 1967, when it was sold at Sotheby’s.
While I didn't find an image of Duchess Alexandrine wearing the Emerald Necklace Tiara, I did find one of her wearing this other necklace of Emeralds and Diamonds with a Diamond Tiara for a Portrait taken around the time of her Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1893, which was also sold at Sotheby’s in 1967.
I really hope you enjoy this as much as I did and wonder if you may have any other information or images!
