The Baden kokoshnik meander tiara Posted by Duke of Polignac on February 4, 2019, 5:14 am Hi guys, You may know me from Theroyalforums also as Duke of Polignac I'm so happy to join you guys here as I've been a great fan of the information and discussion here about royal and noble jewels For my first post, I wanted to ask about the origin and current whereabouts of this tiara. Worn by The Margravine of Baden, nee Princess Marie Louise of Hanover: And Princess Marianne of Baden, nee Auersperg-Bruenner They both seem like they are wearing the same brooch. Also, does anyone know the event of the later photo? Thanks in advance.

What an interesting set of jewels you have introduced me to! I am hoping that some of our experts on German jewels will have information. Also on the grand fringe necklace, which is a very imposing piece - possibly the largest fringe I have seen.

I think the occasion when Princess Marianne wore the tiara was the Wedding Ball of Duke Friedrich of Württemberg and Princess Marie zu Wied in 1993. Unfortunately we don't see Princess Marianne often attending Galas and none of their children is married otherwise we would have seen it perhaps as a bridal tiara.

Re: The Baden kokoshnik meander tiara. Thank you Stefan Posted by Beth on February 6, 2019, 5:55 am, in reply to "Re: The Baden kokoshnik meander tiara" Thank you Stefan for that information. Hopefully some one in the family will attend a grand gala event in the future and wear some of these jewels, giving us a glimpse of them again.

Re: The Baden kokoshnik meander tiara. Thank you Stefan Posted by Stefan on February 7, 2019, 12:48 am, in reply to "Re: The Baden kokoshnik meander tiara. Thank you Stefan" Actually Princfe Ludwig and Princess marianne and all their children attended the Wedding of Pricne Georg Friedrich of Prussia in 2011. It could well be that the Princess wore it for the Gala in the evening but there unfortunately where not much pics of the guests. Previous Message Thank you Stefan for that information.

Thank you Stefan" And often at the Wedding Ball of the german nobles they don't want photographers there. When inin Summer 2017 Princess Sophie zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg married there was a Wedding Ball where the guests wore tiaras and all. A photographer i have often seen at weddings told me that when he asked to take pictures at the Ball the Familiy said no. We want it private.
