Wer lange bei mir mitliest weiß, dass mich natürlich in erster Linie die Zusammenhänge in den Hetzhaufen interessieren. Schließlich bin ich bei X ja lange genug selbst (vorwiegend) Opfer gewesen, wobei ich allerdings die Attacken von Don Alphonso und seinem Spießgesellen Ali Utlu noch abwehren konnte. Damals gab es auch noch Kolja Bonke und ich hatte früh gelernt, dass Blocken Leben retten kann.
Der Artikel lohnt sich eigentlich nur für die Leute, die die Zusammenhänge einigermaßen kennen und wissen wollen, gegen wen sich in den nächsten Tagen "der Diskurs" wendet.
Versuche, Don Alphonso u.a. aus der Unschuld zu reißen, gab es schon in 2018/19. Damals waren sie nicht sehr fruchtbar. Ebenso wenig wie bei Trump wollte kaum jemand glauben, dass so etwas stattfindet.
Immerhin war die FAZ damals hellsichtig genug, Don Alphonso rauszuwerfen (was unverändert nicht hoch genug gewürdigt werden kann). Aber der massiv um "seine" Auflage fürchtende Ulf Poschardt nahm ihn (und seine Fans) gerne.

OKAY OKAY SO THE TRAILER’s DROPPED AND WHILE IM SO BEYOND PSYCHED TO SEE EVERYONE I HAVE SOME OBSERVATIONS. (With pictures). Apologies for the long post lol
First off:
Powers confirmed coming back for everyone!
Five is teleporting, Viktor’s powered up, Ben’s got the horror, Luther has his muscles again
Speaking of Luther, he seems to be all over the place. In some shots he has his muscles, in some he doesn’t, in one shot he’s donning spacegear, another he’s in a ballpit, and they even make him sit in the back of the van for old time’s sake
No Sloane tho?? No sparrows at all as far as I can tell :| idk how to feel about that
Another little detail I noticed was when they all pile in the van together, Lila calls shotgun and is promptly shoved aside by Five out of sheer pettiness. And then she has to sit in the middle
They seem to have a bonding moment in the subway with Lila sobbing as Five holds onto her, which I’m very curious about (and scared)
Diego’s shown at a birthday party taking care of a little girl!! With braids! Possibly their daughter? Talk of a rescue mission makes me think their daughter might be kidnapped
Allison shown with a kid also has me thinking Claire returns which makes me so happy
Allison also doesn’t seem to be shot in a villainous or shunned light, so it looks like this season isn’t intent on bashing her (yet. As far as I can see, which honestly thank goodness…)
The dark circles under Ben’s eyes worry me, almost as much as the shot of him in prison(?) and him seemingly being out of sync with the others. Is this Sparrow Ben perhaps? Does it have anything to do with the possibility of there being another Ben? (Maybe he’s accused of identity theft?)
There’s also Another Tentacle in the promo image shared yesterday which I noticed. Maybe a second horror?
I thought maybe it had something to do with Jennifer since there’s been an actor hired for a character with that name, but now I wonder with the two Bens situation…
Reginald might have his Umbrella academy in the woods again? aligning with the comics. Unless this is someone else’s house. But the windows and white brick match.
Really curious how the academy has been rebranded in this universe to be a house for boys. Six, specifically. Seeing as how Allison is the only umbrella-born girl, it’s interesting to see how this universe has shifted to accommodate them all
Viktor might be a bartender?? The area looked familiar but it could just be my eyes. But apart from his Direct Interview with Reginald, (oooh scary) he seems to get in a physical fight with someone. Which is a new approach for him as a characater
Forgive my shitty captures but if it’s not Luther, diego, klaus or five I’m guessing it must be Ben?? But it’s hard to say, but he sure is going at it tho
Who are the square dancers??? My heart wants it to be jayme and Alphonso but the people here look older to me, so it could be Nick Offerman and Megan Mullalley.
Actually upon inspection the fuzzy square dancer has a matching beard pattern to Nick offerman Exactly. So that’s absolutely him.
Klaus really seems to be struggling again, and has those plastic gloves in almost every shot I see. Him dressing dark and drab also says something about his state of mind as well as the panic attack he seems to have :( but at least they’re all back together 🥲
Looks like they also seem to celebrate Christmas together? And a birthday. Honestly I’m just so happy to see them together for events like this I love these dysfunctional dorks so much
There’s so many more things I’m sure I missed and I’ll be rewatching this a few more times until the season drops (three months!!) but in the wise words of Diego: Let’s Fucking GOOOOOOOO I’m so excited for this. HELL YEAH, THE UMBRELLAS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN BAYBEEE
#tua#the umbrella academy#umbrella academy#tua s4#tua s4 spoilers#luther hargreeves#diego hargreeves#allison hargreeves#klaus hargreeves#five hargreeves#ben hargreeves#viktor hargreeves#lila pitts#ok no more tagging I’m just#psyched#lol#WERE SO BACK#long post

chapter one: new hire
summary: When a tall stranger is suddenly hired into the King's Club, your world shifts abruptly--whether for better or worse. As he unravels the threads of his history, you find yourself running from your own. Can you confront the shadows of the past, or will they ultimately consume you both in the end?
pairing: Kid x reader
word count: 2k
warning: spoilers!
notes: I did give Kid's character a name, but it came from an interview that Dev Patel did.
Redlight: masterlist ... [2]
There was a new man in the kitchen today.
He seemed nervous as he made his way over to your area–you were washing dishes. He was here just the day before when he was escorted into Queenie’s office. It was surprising that not only Queenie didn’t immediately throw him out, but that she also gave him a job. His eyes met yours briefly before turning away to busy himself with some miscellaneous cutlery. You did the same, although you noted how beautifully big they were.
The peacefulness of working in silent tandem would be interrupted when Alphonso, your “manager,” showed up. “New guy, huh? What’s your name?” Your ears perked up, also wanting to know what the quiet stranger's name was.
“Bobby,” he answered unconvincingly.
Alphonso hummed before making his way closer to your station. “Wear your cap properly,” he chided one of the cooks. “We don’t want one of your pubes in the curry.” Alphonso stood next to Bobby–who was next to you–and only made it up to his shoulder. “Bobby,” he repeated with humor. “I think we’ve met before, right?”
“Don’t harass the new staff,” you reminded him impassively. The tall man quickly turned his attention to you. He hadn’t heard you speak until that point–he liked your voice. Alphonso waved you off.
“You like tequila, huh, Bobby?” Bobby walked around the short man to pick up a dirty pot to clean. “Patrón, Don Julio, the one with George Clooney in the photo?”
“I just want to clean the dishes, okay?” He took his place beside you, which was at the sink.
“Coke? Morphine? MDMA?” Alphonso continued.
“Alphonso!” you snapped as your actual manager intervened.
“Oi, Alphonos, eh, I’ve told you many times to stop hassling my staff.”
“Quality control, man,” he answered nonchalantly as your manager walked away. “You’re gonna thank me for this one day!” Alphonso got close to the new hire. “Stay cool, Bobby. Stay cool, hmm?” Alphonso turned his attention to you. Leaning against the sink, and right in your way, he laughed. “And how is it being in the kitchen today, hmm? Better than up there?” He extended a single finger up.
“Alphonso,” you started calmly. “If you want to keep your finger, I suggest you get out of my way.” He quickly slid off to the side, but he was still leaning against the sink. You brought the newly dirtied dish to the sink to start rinsing it.
“Okay, okay,” he smirked. “This is her on a good day, if you can believe it,” he said pointedly to the new hire. The tall stranger raised an eyebrow, but ultimately said nothing, “You should see her when she’s really on duty. She’ll have you-”
“Alphonso,” you interrupted, eyes glaring. “If you don’t leave us alone, a leg won’t be the only thing you’ll be missing,” you reminded as you walked past him and into another part of the kitchen, leaving Bobby alone with the short man.
“If it pleases her majesty,” he mocked while doing a small curtsey. The tall man looked at Alphonso quizzically. “Whatever Queen Whore wants, she gets,” he laughed, but Bobby frowned.
“Don’t call her that,” he said quietly, eyebrows furrowed, but Alphonso wiggled his brows playfully instead with a smirk.
“Hm, what’s that, Romeo? You like her or something?” he grinned.
Bobby opened his mouth to reply, but no words came out as you strolled back into the area, this time holding a fresh set of towels. Alphonso laughed as Bobby scowled at him.
“Alphonso, if you don’t leave this second, I’ll get Queenie myself,” you cooly explained, ignoring all eye contact and continuing to dry the dishes.
Alphonso tsked and swatted the air with his hand before deciding it would be wise to leave. “You better be careful with her,” he announced as he was leaving. “Five men entered a room with her, and only she came out-” he cackled. “Alive!” He then chastised a cook for bumping into his leg before exiting the kitchen.
Quietly going back to work, you ignored Bobby’s glances and carried on with your day. He was quietly thinking about his earlier interaction with Alphonso. What did he mean by that? And Romeo? He had some things to ponder over…
When your back was turned, he noticed that when you washed the dishes, you spent extra time cleaning your already clean hands.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next time you worked with Bobby, he was tasked with preparing Queenie’s tea. He seemed a little lost, but you quietly helped him before sending him to her office. He was surprisingly in a light-hearted mood at the moment. A cook made you bump into a table and almost knocked Queenie’s favorite cup off, but he caught it. Instead of a snide comment or remark, he just laughed and handed you the cup. His positive mood improved your own, slightly sour one. You wore a small smile.
“I never got your name,” he said quietly after a while as he put the sugar bowl onto a tray.
“And I never got yours,” you replied as you grabbed the small milk pitcher.
“Oh,” he chuckled. “It’s Bobby.”
“No it’s not,” you stated nonchalantly, as if it was a simple fact. Bobby looked at you confused, although his heart beat a little quicker, fearful that he’d been spotted out already. He was quiet as he gathered his thoughts. Then he had an idea.
“Okay, okay,” he chuckled nervously. “You got me. I-I’m Romeo. That’s my name” He was wearing a big smile, sure that you would buy this one.
You paused what you were doing and met his eyes. “Romeo?” you asked in disbelief and he nodded hesitantly. “Romeo?” you asked again. “So why ‘Bobby?’”
His smile fell slightly and he shrunk into himself. He chuckled a little, seemingly to stall for time. “I, uh, well-” he shrugged as he tried to form a sentence. “You know Alphonso. I said that to get him to leave me alone,” he said unconvincingly. He was bad at lying.
Staring at him for a few moments, a smile slowly formed on your face. “Sureeee your name is Romeo,” you drawed. “And I’m Juliet.” The tall man laughed, his smile reaching his eyes. He had a nice smile, you noted. “Anyways, Romeo,” you emphasized sarcastically, obviously not buying this name either. “Queenie’s tea is done. Probably shouldn’t keep her waiting too long,” you directed, handing him the finished tray. He took it gratefully and made his way to her office.
You didn’t expect to be interrupted so quickly after sending him on his way, but Sita–an escort–came over to your station. It surprised you seeing the state she was in; she had just been crying and was wearing a plain chemise. “Queenie wants you,” she murmured before hurrying off.
Heading towards Queenie’s office, you could see the new hire and Alphonso already in there. You knocked on her door and she waved you inside. “See? How hard is it to learn some fucking manners?” She berated Alphonso. You waited on her couch and got comfortable. Bobby glanced at you as he was pouring her tea; he was surprised at how…confident you were in her office. Queenie went over to her safe. “Hey, you,” she snapped at Bobby. “Face the wall.” He turned around, which allowed you to discreetly admire him in his uniform.
Queenie finished her discussion with Alphonso. “Tell Naqeeb that if the maal is good, we’ll buy some more for Chief Rana.” She handed a stack of cash to him. You could see Bobby stiffen. “Get it sorted by the weekend. He is coming with his boys. Remember, only the best serve the VIPs.” Alphonso left, and soon Bobby as well, although not before giving you a quizzical look.
Queenie sat behind her desk and got comfortable in her chair. “I need you to be on your best behavior this weekend, got it? No funny business, not like last time.” You scowled but nodded in understanding. “Good. And wear that little red dress you have, you know it’s his favorite.”
Rolling your eyes, you sighed. “Okay. Anything else?” You stood up from the couch and made your way to the door.
“Yeah. Watch over that little goat fucker. You seem to keep him in check.”
“Who? Alphonso?”
“Yeah, him, whatever. He seems to harass my employees less when you're around,” she smiled.
“Yes ma’am,” you chuckled before leaving her office and heading back to the kitchen. You scanned the area for your Romeo, expecting him to be there, but he wasn’t.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bobby was currently hurrying after the shorter man. “Alphonso! Hey, uh, good job with Queenie, huh? She really respects you.”
Alphonso scoffed. “The only person in that room she remotely respected was your little work wife. What do you want?”
“Um, look. If you- if you,” he stopped to calm himself before starting again. “Look, if you need any help with the VIPs…”
“Hey, new guy. You know what happens to earwigs around here? You hear nothing, you see nothing. Got it?”
“Look, I’m just saying. If you need someone to go and do the job…”
“Does it look like I need help from someone like you?” Alphonso continued walking, but the tall man grabbed his shoulder. “Hey! What the fuck, man?”
“Okay, okay. I’m sorry.” He was looking slightly more desperate. “Look. You want to make some money? Guaranteed?”
Alphonso humored him, but he did look interested. “Go on.”
The tall man quickly found a piece of paper and wrote an address. “Come to this place tonight…bet on Khan. You’ll make a killing.”
“How the fuck do you know?”
“I-I’ll be fighting him.” Alphonso scoffed before laughing at him. He obviously didn’t believe him and told him to fuck off. “The monkey will win the first two rounds and go down in the third.”
The shorter man became serious. “What’s in it for you?”
The tall dishwasher replied, “I want a promotion,” before patting him on the shoulder and leaving to go back to his job.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You didn’t see Romeo or Alphonso for the rest of the evening after what happened in Queenie’s office. Your shift was over and you had just finished washing your hands when Alphonso strolled over. “Hey, baby-” he smiled.
“Don’t call me that.”
“Okay, okay.” He straightened himself before lowering his voice. “I need a favor. Well, not really a favor, but I’d appreciate it if you went with me to this place.”
“Where?”
“I’m not sure. That tall fucker–the new hire–gave me this address.” He passed the piece of paper with hurried writing over for you to see.
“...And you want me to go?”
“Yeah!”
“Pass.” You hung up the towel and took off your apron before folding it over your arm. Alphonso followed you as you made your way to the exit.
“Aw, come on! You’re gonna make me go to this sketch ass place by myself?”
“No one is making you go.”
“Yeah, but aren’t you at least a little curious about Bobby?” You slowed to a stop. Alphonso smiled, seeming to sense his victory in winning you over. “I mean, come on. No one knows anything about that guy. He just keeps to himself and washes dishes. He said that if we go and bet on this guy named ‘Khan,’ then we’d make a lot of money.”
“I don’t even think his real name is Bobby…or Romeo,” you muttered to yourself, finger pressed to your lip as you looked away in thought.
“Soooo…” Alphonso looked at you hopefully. A few moments passed before you rolled your eyes and relented. “Yeah, baby! Come on, we’ll take Nicki!”
“Your scooter?”
“Hey, now. Nicki is not a scooter. She’s a classy rickshaw,” he huffed before smiling. “Let’s go before we’re late to the show.”
“Show?!”

"Trumpeter, Raymond Harper attended the Alpha Boys School as a boy. As a pupil there, he taught younger pupil Bobby Ellis how to play.
There is a reference in a Gleaner advert that in 1959 he was playing in the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) Orchestra.
It is also known that at one stage Harper played in Coburn’s Orchestra at ‘The Bournemouth’ alongside Don Drummond, Tommy McCook and Roland Alphonso.
He went on to play with the Carib-Beats, and also became the no.1 choice of trumpeter for the records of Prince Buster. He can often be recognised on record by his use of vibrato."

Storia Di Musica #301 - Weather Report, Mysterious Traveller, 1974
I detrattori di Miles Davis hanno sempre puntato in particolare su un aspetto: non è mai stato un virtuoso del suo strumento, la tromba. Effettivamente l'osservazione ha senso, ma nel progetto musicale di Davis è irrilevante il virtuosismo esecutivo, dato che aveva sempre in mente ben più potenti rappresentazioni musicali. Ma perfino i suoi più acerrimi avversari non hanno mai potuto dire nulla sua sul carisma da band leader e sul suo fiuto di talent scout, capaci di mettere insieme gruppi di musicisti sulla carta perfino antitetici, ma che con lui non solo hanno dato il loro meglio, ma hanno persino continuato e ampliato le sue idee. Questo successe al pianista, tastierista e organista Joe Zawinul e al sassofonista Wayne Shorter. Il secondo è stato il pilastro del secondo grande quintetto davisiano (a cui dedicai il mese celebrativo della 250.ma Storia Di Musica), il primo fu uno degli innesti decisivi in quel piccolo arco di tempo che attraverso i già citati capolavori In A Silent Way e Bitches Brew porta al jazz fusion. Zawinul è il più entusiasta della svolta, e anche quello più aperto alla sperimentazione, Shorter forte della sua esperienza è colui che lo asseconda ma lo tiene anche con un piede per terra. Il mix diviene perfetto quando si aggiunge il musicista cecoslovacco Miroslav Vitouš, virtuoso del contrabasso, formando il trio centrale di una nuova formazione che decidono di chiamare come qualcosa che la gente ricordi facilmente: Weather Report, il bollettino meteo.
Il primo album, omonimo Weather Report, è inciso nel marzo del 1971 in soli tre giorni. Con i tre ci sono il batterista Alphonse Mouzon e i percussionisti Barbara Burton e Don Alias entrambi agli inizi della carriera. Airto Moreira, che invece è l’unico a comparire nelle note di copertina, incide solo qualche intervento. Partono da dove era finita la lezione "elettrica" del Maestro Davis, ma spingendosi verso una spiritualità musicale, con atmosfere ancora più eteree e sfuggenti: la critica ne è rapita, tanto che la rivista Downbeat lo colloca al primo posto come album dell’anno. Il momento creativo è magico, e nello stesso anno pubblicano I Sing The Body Electric. L’album riprende il titolo da un racconto del 1969 dello scrittore Ray Bradbury che, a sua volta lo aveva preso da una composizione poetica di Walt Whitman del 1867. Nell’album compare per la prima volta il sintetizzatore di Zawinul che da qui in avanti caratterizzerà il musicista: Zawinul ne diventerà un pioniere, tanto che alcune grandi aziende produttrici se lo contenderanno sia come testimonial sia proprio come sperimentatore, e molte innovazioni tecniche di questi strumenti, e alcune derivazioni come i vocoder, devono molto all'opera del musicista nato in Austria. Le ultime tre tracce vengono registrate in Giappone durante una tournée del gruppo, e sono utilizzate anche per il terzo album Live in Tokyo dello stesso anno. Dom Um Romao alle percussioni e Eric Gravatt alla batteria subentrano nella sezione ritmica ai musicisti originari. Nel 1973 esce Sweetnighter, più orecchiabile dei lavori precedenti, che è apripista per il disco di oggi, che chiude in un certo senso il primo percorso della band.
Vitouš si chiama fuori, e parteciperà solo ad una traccia di Mysterious Traveller, che esce nel marzo del 1974, frutto di registrazioni del Novembre del '73 e di una giornata di perfezionamento poco prima dell'uscita del disco nel marzo 1974. Infatti è presente solo in un brano, la sua American Tango, musica che più si mantiene legata agli standard iniziali, e lascia il posto ad Alphonso Johnson, fenomeno del basso elettrico, che porta con sé tutta la forza della nuova musica nera; entra nel gruppo insieme al batterista Ishmael Wilburn, il quale prende il a sua volta il posto di Greg Errico, batterista nelle sessioni e nel tour di Sweetnighter, ma che declinò l'offerta di entrare in pianta stabile nel gruppo. Mysterious Traveller si apre con uno "scherzetto": gli oltre dieci, magici, minuti di Nubian Sundance, una sorta di rituale musicale magico con un celestiale coro scat singing, furono registrati in una surreale unica take di registrazione, e per valorizzarne l'effetto, fu fatta passare come un brano live, a cui aggiunsero applausi e brusii di pubblico in post produzione. Il disco mostra come ormai sia quasi del tutto naturale la contaminazione nelle strutture del jazz di sonorità funk, R&B, persino di musica etnica, che proprio in quegli anni stava avendo un notevole interesse di riscoperta. Cucumber Slusher è il funk del basso che accompagna gli assoli di Shorter e le terzine ai piatti di Wilburn e le percussioni etniche, in uno dei brani più famosi della compagnia. Mysterious Traveller è un brano sognante e armonioso, che sfuma nel duetto\scontro tra Zawinul e Shorter di Blackthorn Rose, vertiginosa scalata elettrica. Scarlet Woman, compassata e ritmica e l'intro quasi prog di Jungle Book (che sarà il punto di partenza per chiunque si accosterà alla materia per mille future divagazioni world e fusion) segnano un passaggio storico al pieno utilizzo degli strumenti elettronici nel jazz. Il risultato fu accolto con grande successo sia di pubblico, con il disco che va altissimo nelle classifiche di vendite jazz, e non sfuggì all'occhio attento dei lettori della rivista Downbeat, che lo decretarono disco dell'anno.
Zawinul continuerà ancora a registrare questo jazz-funk-rock fino al 1976, quando l'incontro con un altro genio, Jaco Pastorius, renderà ancora diverso, rinnovandone l'unicità, il suono meraviglioso e distintivo di una band che volle chiamarsi con un nome che tutti potevano facilmente ricordare.

I had finally watch the episode "What if... Kahhori Reshaped the World? from the second season of WHAT IF...?. This chapter is generating debate in Spain because of historical inaccuracies and "The Spanish Black Legend" (Spaniards forgets what a WHAT IF...? is about.)
But I think the ones who should be offended are the Americans. You have the most cliché conquistador with a background in flames and instead of translating "Mi nombre es Don Rodrigo Alfonso Gonzolo" as "My name is Mr. Rodrigo Alphonso Gonzolo" they traslated it as "The name is Conquistador Rodrigo Alphonso Gonzolo." Just in case, people don't get it.

Utlu hat sich von 2015 von einer Position, die damals noch als "rechts der Mitte" gegolten haben könnte, immer weiter nach rechts bewegt und war schon 2018/19 auf einer Umlaufbahn weit hinter dem Uran unterwegs. Dabei hatte er schon 2016/17 gemeinsam mit Don Alfredo und anderen Jagd auf Andersdenkende gemacht und die gemeinsamen Truppen im Schutze der Nacht aufgehetzt, damit Linke morgens keinen erfreulichen Content in ihren Accounts vorfanden.
Gestartet war er als schwuler, konvertierter Muslim (Index = Aufmerksamkeitslevel 100), hat aber schnell erkannt, dass er als rechter und schwuler konvertierter Muslim locker das Aufmerksamkeitslevel 200 erreichen kann, zusammen mit Don Alphonso auch 300.
Mittlerweile ist er (grobe Schätzung) auf 210-220 zurückgefallen. Da kann es nur hilfreich sein, wenn er neue Hilfstruppen anfordert und sich zugleich in der Opferrolle suhlt.
Die Solidarität fällt bisher eher klein aus.

Aquamarine Gemstone: The Jewel of the Sea
The oceanic beauty of the Aquamarine gemstone has always been known to spread its aura of calmness and serenity among people who owned it. The gemstone, which ranges in various colours from pale blue to light blue, has attracted people of all ages. Over the years, a number of kings, queens, and celebrities have donned the gem, which is said to enchant joy, hope, and everlasting youth.
With more than 30 years of experience, Giri Corporation has provided people with a variety of aquamarine that comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours. Designers often accessorise royals and A-list celebrities with beautiful gemstone jewellery to brighten their looks on special occasions. The red carpet is the pinnacle of fashion and interest. A-list celebrities inspire and reinvent new red carpet-trends every year. Celebrity and royal style encompass fashion, beauty, culture, and jewellery. With their clothes, make-up, hairstyles, and accessories, they created something distinctive and memorable. The birthstone for March has grace and exquisiteness in making people look their best.
Let us look at some of the popular royals and celebrities who wore aquamarine jewellery on various occasions.
Brazilian Aquamarine
The aquamarine tiara worn by British Queen Elizabeth II contains several Brazilian aquamarines. She commissioned a Garrard tiara in 1957 to match her aquamarine necklace and earrings. In 1953, Brazilian President Getlio Vargas gave her a platinum set of aquamarines and diamonds as a coronation gift. The Queen donned her aquamarine parure and matching jewellery on several occasions. The Tiara received new stones for renovation in 1971, The Tiara's centre stone was replaced with a larger Brazilian aquamarine.
Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain, popularly known as Queen Ena, also owned the Brazilian variety of aquamarine gemstones. A tiara made up of these gemstones was gifted to her by her husband, King Alphonso. Later, she modified it with a variety of diamonds to enhance its look. Now over years, it has become an asset to the royal family.
Pear shaped Aquamarine
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was seen wearing sets of aquamarine Jewellery on various occasions. She owned aquamarine gemstone jewellery. In 2004, a few months before her wedding, Mary was seen wearing a pear-shaped aquamarine suspended from a diamond frame. She was seen wearing an aquamarine choker for her wedding.
The Roosevelt Aquamarine
When US President Eleanor Roosevelt visited Brazil with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936, Brazilian President Getlio Vargas presented Eleanor with a beautiful 1,298-carat aquamarine gem. (Hence the pearl became known as the Roosevelt Aquamarine). Roosevelt held the record for the largest cut aquamarine specimen prior to the discovery of Dom Pedro. It is now the second largest Aqua gem in the world. This dark blue emerald-cut gem's rough crystal weighed approximately 2.86 pounds.
The Hirsch Aquamarine
The Hirsch aquamarine was once owned by French Emperor Louis XV. The natural aqua blue colours of this gem are said to calm the emperor. According to world folk beliefs, aquamarines can calm emotion
Emerald cut Aquamarine
Princess Diana had a small but powerful collection of aquamarines, many of which dated back to her time as a royal. A stunning cocktail ring with an emerald-cut aquamarine set with diamonds on the band was one of the most notable additions to this group of jewels. The ring, given to Diana by Lucia Flecha de Lima, was designed by Asprey and arrived in Diana's jewellery box in 1996.
Recently the aquamarine ring has reappeared on Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, after more than two decades. In May 2018, the newly engaged Duchess of Sussex wore the ring on her right hand at her wedding reception in Windsor.
