Royal Jewels: Symbols of Power

Spanning the late 19th century to the Belle Époque era, three pieces of antique jewellery from a Private Collection reveal how royal houses shaped jewellery as enduring symbols of power. These royal jewels, each distinct in their forms: a diamond tiara owned by the Queen of Spain, a diamond brooch depicting the arms of the Austrian empire and the Belle Époque diamond jigha – serve as a testament to the incredible skill and craftsmanship of the artisans of the 19th to 20th century through their intricate designs showcasing the traditions of each region.
