Norwegian emerald tiara (edited)
Posted by Torkel on February 20, 2021, 11:42 pm, in reply to "Re: Amazing" She writes: The author speculates on the origin (a gift from Emperor Napoleon to Duchess Augusta for her wedding in 1806, then re-gifted to her own daughter Amelie on her wedding in 1829), but this part of the history has not been possible to confirm. However she has found sources (including a court painting) in Brazil picturing the young Empress Amelie wearing emeralds for her wedding in Rio in 1829. The will of Duchess Augusta also confirms she left emeralds to Amelie for her wedding, thus it is clear this is not the same emeralds as those Leuchtenberg-emeralds left to Amelie´s brother Maximilian (and later inherited through the Leuchtenbergs). The painting of Josephine by Frederic Westin in 1825, mentioned earlier in this thread, is visible on this page: There are several threads on this on the RJWMB, where posters here have contributed: https://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1331890224.html If the 1825 painting shows emeralds (and there are similarities between the Norwegian parure and that portrayed by Westin), the set must have been complemented with additional square-shaped emeralds at a later date. A further twist is the information that these emeralds are Russian, as it is unclear whether there were such emeralds in Russia as early as the 1820s. There are several possibilities, including these two which are pure speculation on my part:
