Royal Tiaras Highlights: Luxembourg Belgian Scroll Tiara
This tiara was made by Henry Coosemans in 1953 as a wedding gift from the Société Générale - a French bank - to Princess Joséphine-Charlotte of Belgium when she married Hereditary Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg. The piece of diamonds - all sourced from the Belgian Congo - set in platinum; the largest central diamond is detachable and can also be worn as a ring.
After Joséphine-Charlotte died, the tiara almost left the family for good. Her children planned to sell a good deal of the late grand duchess’s jewelry collection, including this tiara. However, public outcry led to the cancellation of the sale, and this tiara was kept in the family’s vaults.
