The Treasure of Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, the Jewels of the Ducal House of Bavaria, a Tiara from the niece of the Duke of Edinburgh and the Anglesey Diamond Négligé are among the magnificent Royal and Noble Jewels on Auction at Sotheby’s in Geneva next week.

Anglesey Diamond Négligé

Estimate: 1,600,000 – 2,200,000 CHF

Formerly in the Collection of the Marquess of Anglesey

The magnificent Diamond Negligee is composed of three rows of diamonds, one row of fifty-five, one of fifty-six and another of fifty-eight diamonds in collet setting, with diamond tassel terminals- circa 1800. An heirloom of the Marquesses of Anglesey for over a century and a half, it is believed that the Négligé may be a part of the legendary Collier de La Reine at the heart of the ‘Affair of the Diamond Necklace’ and the subsequent French Revolution.

Koch Diamond Tiara

Estimate: 8,500 – 13,000 CHF

Property of a Member of the European High Nobility

A Koch Diamond Tiara, the openwork kokoshnik-style tiara of neoclassical design featuring a meander motif and laurel leaves, which comes from the collection of the late Princess Margarita of Baden and Yugoslavia.

The prestigious German jeweller Koch was founded by the brothers Robert (1852-1902) and Louis Koch (1862-1930) in 1879. They soon reached an extremely high level of quality in both design and craftsmanship by building on the centuries-old goldsmithing tradition of the town of Hanau. Koch’s main premises was in Frankfurt, but soon they opened a store in the fashionable spa town of Baden-Baden. During the Belle Epoque, Koch was the preferred jeweller of Germany’s High Nobility including the German Imperial family. For Princess Victoria Luise, the daughter of Emperor Wilhelm II, Koch created a delicate neoclassical diamond tiara much in the same vein of the example offered here. After World War I, Koch continued to prosper for decades before ceasing activities in 1987.

Nitot Diamond Tiara

Estimate: 110,000 – 160,000 CHF

Property of the Ducal House of Bavaria

A Nitot Diamond Tiara  designed as a wreath composed of fourteen detachable ears of wheat, further comprising a composite pendant consisting of two ears of wheat, three brooches and two fragmentary ears of wheat, originating from Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen, Queen of Bavaria

 It is entirely possible that the Bavarian King Ludwig I acquired these diamond ears of wheat at Nitot as a wedding present for his new daughter-in-law. Nitot was famous for creating wheat sheaf tiaras, one of the most popular and perennially beloved models of the Empire-era, evoking the Roman-inspired majesty of Napoleon’s court. Queen Therese can be seen wearing eight diamond ears of wheat sewn onto her bodice in a portrait by Carl Joseph Begas (1794-1854), circa 1825-1830.

Mellerio dits Meller Sapphire and Diamond Necklace

Estimate: 170,000 – 340,000 CHF

From a European Noble Family

A Mellerio dits Meller Sapphire and Diamond Necklace of Egyptian revival design, the front designed as intertwined papyrus reeds centering a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 18.08 carats, set throughout with circular- and single-cut, old cushion-shaped and rose diamonds, accented by pear-shaped diamonds, the clasp featuring stylised lotus flowers set with a triangular sapphire.

This highly important sapphire and diamond necklace is an exceptionally early example of Egyptian revival jewellery, announcing the trend some ten years earlier than its peak in the early 1920s. In fact, the necklace was originally created by Mellerio in 1909 with three emeralds set in the centre. Subsequently the necklace was altered in 1922. Four years later in 1926, the emeralds were exchanged for the current cushion-shaped sapphire. In 1931 and 1933, the necklace was altered again to its present form. The triangular sapphire was added to the clasp in 1931. It is a fascinating jewel that cannot be captured by just one style or period.

Diamond Bandeau

Estimate: 70,000 – 100,000 CHF

A Tsar’s Treasure: Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria (1861-1948)

A Diamond Bandeau, designed as a series of alternating quatrefoils and lozenges, set throughout with old cushion-shaped diamonds, accented by rose diamonds.

Princess Nadejda of Bulgaria (1899-1958) wore this diamond bandeau at her wedding to Albrecht Eugen, Duke of Württemberg (1895-1954) on 24 January 1924. The bandeau was in all likelihood created by the Viennese jeweller Rothe & Neffe for her mother Princess Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma, Princess Consort of Bulgaria (1870-1899).

Diamond Rivière Necklace

Estimate: 90,000 – 130,000 CHF

A Tsar’s Treasure: Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria (1861-1948)

A Diamond Rivière Necklace, designed as a graduated row of collet-set old cushion-shaped diamonds. Princess Eudoxia of Bulgaria (1898-1985) inherited this necklace from her mother Princess Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma, Princess Consort of Bulgari (1870-1899). She considered it a demi-parure together with a pair of diamond earrings (lot 1082) and believed them to have belonged to Princess Marie Louise’s mother Princess Maria Pia of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duchess of Parma (1849-1882).

Princess Marie Louise’s father Robert, Duke of Parma (1848-1907), gifted her two rows of diamonds as a wedding present in 1893. Most probably, this rivière necklace corresponds to one of those rows of diamonds. It is well recorded how the Bourbon-Parma family inherited the majority of the Duchess of Angoulême’s diamonds. Marie Thérèse, Duchess of Angoulême (1778-1851) was the daughter and only surviving child of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI of France. This opens the possibility that the diamonds in this necklace may have originated with the illustrious French Royal House.

Opal and Diamond Tiara

Estimate: 17,000 – 26,000 CHF

A Tsar’s Treasure: Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria (1861-1948)

An Opal and Diamond Tiara, designed as a series of acanthus leaves alternating with scrolls surmounting an openwork ribbon, set throughout with old cushion-shaped and circular-cut diamonds, accented by rose diamonds, topped by earlier, detachable cabochon opals in rose diamond borders.

This opal and diamond tiara was a wedding gift to Archduchess Maria Immaculata of Austria-Tuscany from the siblings of her husband Robert, Duke of Württemberg and their respective spouses. The groom’s older brother Albrecht and his wife Archduchess Margarete Sophie of Austria, his younger brother Ulrich and his sister Isabella and her husband Prince Johann Georg of Saxony all bundled forces to acquire this wedding present. The fitted case stamped by the Dresden court jeweller Elimeyer leads one to suspect that Isabella, who resided in the Saxon capital, selected the gift.

Pearl and Diamond Brooch

Estimate: 26,000 – 42,000 CHF

A Tsar’s Treasure: Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria (1861-1948)

A Fine and Historical natural Pearl and Diamond Brooch, circa 1865, of geometric design, set with old-cushion-shaped diamonds accented by rose diamonds, suspending three detachable pendants each set with a drop-shaped natural pearl.

Empress Maria Anna of Austria, the consort of Emperor Ferdinand I, gifted this natural pearl and diamond brooch to Archduchess Marie Therese of Austria-Teschen as a wedding present when she married Philipp, Duke of Württemberg (1838-1917) in 1865. She bequeathed it as a testamentary gift to her granddaughter-in-law Princess Nadejda of Bulgaria, Duchess of Württemberg. In fact, she had worn this brooch to Princess Nadejda’s wedding in 1924.

Diamond Earrings

Estimate: 90,000 – 130,000 CHF

A Tsar’s Treasure: Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria (1861-1948)

A Diamond Earrings, each collet-set with an old cushion-shaped diamond suspended from a circular-cut diamond. Princess Eudoxia of Bulgaria (1898-1985) inherited these Earrings from her mother Princess Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma, Princess Consort of Bulgari (1870-1899). She considered it a demi-parure together with a Diamond Rivière believed them to have belonged to Princess Marie Louise’s mother Princess Maria Pia of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duchess of Parma (1849-1882).

Diamond Aigrette

Estimate: 8,500 – 13,000 CHF

A Tsar’s Treasure: Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria (1861-1948)

A Diamond Aigrette, the detachable fan-shaped motif set with old cushion-shaped diamonds on knife-edge wiring, decorated with an egret feather, to a base set with old cushion-shaped diamonds. This diamond aigrette was given by Princess Clémentine of Orleans (1817-1907) to her daughter-in-law Princess Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma, Princess Consort of Bulgari (1870-1899). Upon her death, it was inherited by the latter’s daughter Princess Eudoxia of Bulgaria (1898-1985).

Fancy Gray-Blue Diamond and Coloured Diamond Tie Pin

Estimate: 450,000 – 600,000 CHF

A Tsar’s Treasure: Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria (1861-1948)

Princess Nadejda of Bulgaria (1899-1958) received this jewel from Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Grand Duchess Vladimir (1854-1920) as a souvenir in 1909. Originally the brooch was a button which belonged to the latter’s husband Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich (1847-1909) of Russia.
