The Grand Duchess Adelaide Tiara is said to have been part of the trousseau of Princess Adelheid-Marie of Anhalt-Dessau, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, the second wife of Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, who ruled Luxembourg from 1890–1905. It’s most closely associated with her granddaughter, Grand Duchess Marie-Adélaïde, who favored the tiara when sitting for photographs or paintings during her reign from 1912–1919. Created between 1865 and 1870, the tiara features a large cushion-shaped blue sapphire at the center, which can be removed and worn separately. Surrounding the sapphire is a leaf-and-berry motif crafted from brilliant- and rose-cut diamonds set in white and yellow gold. Two loops at the base of the tiara can attach an additional element. The tiara passed on to Marie-Adélaïde’s sister and successor, Grand Duchess Charlotte, and has since been seen on Maria Teresa, the current Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, her daughter-in-law, Princess Tessy of Luxembourg and Princess Stephanie. The new princesses might appreciate the timeless design of a tiara such as this, which has been beloved by the Luxembourg royal family for more than a century.
