The Devonshire Parure

The Devonshire Parure consists of a coronet, diadem, bandeau, comb, necklace, stomacher, and bracelet. It was commissioned by the 6th Duke of Devonshire for Countess Granville, the wife of his nephew, to wear while accompanying him to Moscow for the coronation of Tsar Alexander II in 1856.

Made and designed by C.F. Hancock with input from Sir Joseph Paxton, the parure incorporates 88 cameos and intaglios from the 2nd Duke of Devonshire’s extensive carved gem collection depicting different Tudor monarchs. It includes carnelian, amethyst, garnets, emeralds, sapphires, onyx, jacinth, lapis lazuli, plasma, sardonyx and diamonds all set in gold and enamel.

The parure has been featured in Sotheby's Treasures from Chatsworth exhibit and docuseries. When not on tour, the parure is displayed at Chatsworth House, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.

hiii, have any unpopular hcs on some characters not well talked about in the marauders era? i literally adore they way u think (specifically not the main groups) :))

HELLO!!!!

when it comes to the unknown characters it's hard to say what's exactly popular and what isn't but to my knowledge these are some headcanons i have that are unpopular :)

(also by the "main groups" i'm going to assume you mean the marauders, skittles, snapes gang and lily, mary and marlene so i won't be speaking of specifically any of them in this post but if you want any hcs for any of them let me know :)

ik a lot of people like to group them all together and call them the "amethysts" (which i'm so curious to know how that name came about) and i am so not onboard with this hc i can't lie 😭 i do not think they were all friends with each other or that they even all spoke to each other

I only really have hcs for two friend groups for the majority of them

Edgar Bones, Amelia Bones, Fabian Prewett & Gideon Prewett (i call them the blackbirds because they're all hufflepuffs and their patronus' are all birds) and they're also friends with Benjy Fenwick, Caradoc Dearborn and Pandora Ollivander

Emma Vanity, Florence Greengrass, Septima Vector, Bertha Jorkins and Aurora Sinistra (i see these girls as like the IT girls of Hogwarts and 2 years above the marauders)

the rest i obviously see as having friends but it's less organised friendgroups if that makes sense

some other unpopular headcanons i have

- Benjy Fenwick was a Slytherin and his parents were death eaters (his father agreed with Voldemort but his mother didn't and told Benjy to earn Dumbledores trust so that he could escape the death eaters)

- Emmeline Vance was not alternative/emo (and i've been seeing a lot of Emmeline being friends with Evan Rosier and I literally have no idea where that came from and hate it (sorry to anyone who likes it)

- Edgar and Amelia didn't have pink/dyed hair. Their family was very conservative and there's no way they would've gotten away with that

- Hestia Jones was a Ravenclaw (i see a lot of people hc her as a Hufflepuff) and kind of a mean girl. She was very headstrong and blunt

- Benjy Fenwick and Amelia Bones were head boy and girl in 1976-1977 school year

- Amelia Bones was a lesbian and madly in love with Pandora Ollivander but never told her how the really felt because she knew Pandora didn't feel the same

- Amelia Bones also figure skates

- Sybill Trelawney and Hestia Jones are best friends and Hestia is the only person who doesn't call Sybill weird

- Fabian and Gideon Prewett were Hufflepuffs and not ginger (i see them more as a dirty blondeish)

To top it off allow me to use this as an excuse to push some of my fave ships :)

Emmeline Vance & Edgar Bones (MY BELOVEDS)

Hestia Jones & Alexander Stabbins

Florence Greengrass & Aurora Sinistra (even though i hc that Florence cheats on her and it ruins their entire friendship group)

Camelia Solis & Dahlia Fleur-Peri

Amelia Bones & Pandora Ollivander (tho as i said i never actually hc that they get together)

Benjy Fenwick & Caradoc Dearborn (these guys are pretty popular but i had to include them)

Gideon Prewett & Septima Vector

I'm having trouble coming up with any others the are specifically going against the more popular version of these characters that i can say without me going on a two day context rant 😭 for now i hope it's enough

thank you so much for your ask and kind words, if you want to know any hcs for specific characters/groups/ships just let me know i'm more then happy to rant about any of these guys <3

Some hnk sketches.

My hnk fan characters are Okenite, Pezzottaite, Riesling, Eclogite and Gneiss.

The amethyst twins and the lyrics of the song: "Vylet Pony - Earnest", which I think suits them very well.
