    Yes many of ther former reigning german Families have quiet a numbver of tiaras and otehr Jewels in their Vaults. unfortunatels we don#ät get to see the almost only at Wedding as their Wededding Gala's are mostly privat without photographers present. The last time we got to see much of ürttemberg Jewels was at the pre-Wedding Gala of Duke friedrich in 1993. There was also a Soiree after the wedding of Duchess Fleur in 2003 but is was private and nor Press was invited so we didnt get to see which Jewels have been worn then.

    I get the feeling Queen Mary's love of jewellery came from her paternal side of her family who just happened to be the Wurttemberg's. In the pictures provided by Stefan it really shows this family having an exceptional jewellery collection, one that is actually more prolific than say a reigning royal house. It is an interesting fact that all royal/ princely houses of Europe are related by blood to the BRF. The Prussian, Hannover's, Saxa Coburg Gotha's, the Holstein Sounderberg Glucksberg's, Mecklenburg Schwerin's, Glephs, Weids etc. And they all maintain impressive jewel collections.

    Regards,

    Dave.

    A sapphire Parue worn by Duchess Rosa and later by Duchess Diane who wore it at the pre-Wedding Balls of Duchess Mathilde, Duke Philipp and Duke Friedrich

    A small diamond tiara worn by Princess Marie zu Wied at her pre Wedding Gala. It was worn by Duchess Fleur at her Wedding Day as well as by Duke Carl's sisters the Duchesses Elisabeth, Helene and Marie Thérese all used it as their bridal tiara.
    Not to be confused with Queen Pauline's diamond tiara which is on the Display at the Alte Schloß in Stuttgart




    Duchess Diane has also worn a diamond and emerald tiara which she later wore at the Bavaria/Liechtenstein Wedding Gala in 1993 (sorry no pic from that occasion)
