The weather was perfect for the photo booth today. Snow and sunshine. The birds came in large numbers, and everybody looked so pretty.

Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara was made in 1874 by Bolin, the Russian court jeweler

Grand Duchess Vladimir was the Tsar Nicholas II’s aunt. When the Bolsheviks murdered Nicholas, the Grand Duchess escaped and later retrieved her jewels which she had hidden in the castle. She gave her collections to her children. This tiara went to her daughter Princess Nicholas who later sold it to Queen Mary in 1921.

Queen Mary paid £27,000 for the tiara and a necklace. The tiara was fashioned with drop pendant pearls. It is said she got a bargain.

Queen Mary had her collection of Cambridge Emeralds fashioned to be used as an option to the pearls which came with the tiara, making them interchangeable.
