Queen Mary's Lozenge Tiara Has Been Found!

Queen Mary's Lozenge Tiara which was thought to have been languishing in the vault for six decades has been found with a member of a royal family - just not the British royal family.

The tiara first appeared on Queen Mary in the 1930s though it was likely made a bit earlier. She wore it with thirteen pearl shaped pearls attached to the top but those were removed by the time the tiara made it's way to Princess Margaret.

In 1948, the tiara was worn by Princess Margaret for her first tiara appearances during the inauguration festivities of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. For a long time it was thought to be a loan but now seems to have been an 18th birthday present from her grandmother. She wore it a few times in her early years of tiara wearing but it was never a favorite and the last public appearance was in 1965. Princess Margaret did sell some jewels during her lifetime so it's not out of the question that this tiara was discreetly sold sometime after 1965 with no mention of the owner.

And now the current owner is Queen Azizah of Pahang! The tiara was bought by Queen Azizah in 1988 from a jeweler in New York City with no mention of it's provenance. It has been worn regularly by the family since.

Saad Salman from The Royal Watcher made the connection when he was in Malaysia for the wedding of Prince Muhammad and Natasya Adnan. He mentioned that they might be the same tiara to Queen Azizah and she invited him to take a closer look. She is very interested in historical jewelry and has been great about providing information about the Pahang collection. I'm a little sad because I've long wanted this one to appear on a member of the BRF but it's so wonderful that not only does the tiara still exist but it's still worn instead of being stuck in a vault.

Congrats to Saad for such an amazing discovery!

I think this photo was taken in 1934/1935, because King George V looked really tired and weak. I find it adorable that Queen Elizabeth in this photo as a child tries to imitate the solemn posture of her grandmother Queen Mary.

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she said in a video announcement.

“The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

Queen Alexandra (1844-1925) When Princess of Wales

Artist: Sir William Blake Richmond (British, 1842-1921)

Date: 1872-1873

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, London, United Kingdom

Description

Princess Alexandra (1844–1925) was described by her sister-in-law Victoria, the Crown Princess of Prussia, as having ‘a lovely figure but very thin, a complexion as beautiful as possible. Very fine white regular teeth and very fine large eyes – with extremely prettily marked eyebrows. A very fine well-shaped nose, very narrow but a little long – her whole face is very narrow, her forehead too but well shaped and not at all flat. Her voice, her walk, carriage and manner are perfect, she is one of the most ladylike and aristocratic looking people I ever saw’ and ‘outrageously beautiful’.

Alexandra of Denmark (Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia; 1 December 1844 – 20 November 1925) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Empress of India, from 22 January 1901 to 6 May 1910 as the wife of Edward VII.

Did you catch what rings Catherine is wearing in the various shots of the latest video? I’m interested if the ruby “promise ring” in particular shows up again.

Alright let's talk rings!

Birthstone Ring

The Princess of Wales started wearing this ring during university and it has been speculated that it was a gift from Prince William but never confirmed. The ring is a gold band set with garnets and pearls which you guessed it - are William and Catherine's birthstones. The last time it was worn publicly was 2013 and she always wears it on her middle finger not her ring finger. I don't remember it being called a promise ring back when they were dating but now when I look it up all of the magazines and entertainment news sites call it that. I guess calling it a promise ring grabs more attention.

Diamond Eternity Ring

In 2014, Kate added a diamond eternity band to her engagement and wedding rings. It is the Eclipse Diamond Eternity Ring by Annoushka which features diamonds set in white gold. The ring has been speculated but again never confirmed to be a gift from William to mark the birth of their first child the year before.

New Mystery Ring

In August, she debuted a new eternity style ring in a video congratulating the returning British Olympians and then wore it again for the video announcing the end of her chemotherapy treatment. There has been a lot of speculation about this ring and what it means. It seems to be worn in place of her sapphire engagement ring so my best guess is that the ring is set with diamonds and sapphires. As for meaning it's probably nothing deeper than her engagement ring being ginormous and wanting a more comfortable one to wear sometimes. I know a ring of that size would get on my nerves constantly.

There also looks to be a fourth ring in the stack now on the outside edge. The order is gold wedding ring, new mystery ring, diamond eternity ring, and new small ring. I'd like to get a better look at it but it could be nothing more than an guard ring meant to keep the others from slipping off.
