Evening all. I'm not sure if anyone has laid claim to this yet, if not please I may nab it? It's Queen Victorias sapphire coronet bandeau.

Dammit @frugalkitty I was just looking at that the other day and was going to ask! Sigh.

Maireas · 21/01/2023 20:03

I'm on the Spreadsheet of Splendour...

Unclaimed! It's a beauty!
@frugalkitty : Victoria's Sapphire Coronation Bandeau ✔️
It'll go well with your sceptre!

@Maireas whilst you’ve got the Spreadsheet of Splendour open...

Please could you give me a rundown of what pieces I own? Under nique/niquenique as well? Thank you!

(I can’t keep track of a handful of tiaras et al - imagine what it must be like to keep track of the Royal Vault!)

frugalkitty · 21/01/2023 20:21

Tangled I'm happy for you to borrow it when you have need. It's currently at the V&A so when I drop you folks at the Palace for the jewel heist, I'll just have to pop into the V&A and nab it while no one's looking.

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/01/2023 20:23

Ah thanks @frugalkitty! I’m not bitter, I promise! It’s my own fault that I forgot...

Maireas · 21/01/2023 20:26

Ok, @TangledWebOfDeception aka Nique Nique....
Anne Marie's emerald brooch and necklace
Camilla's Pansy brooches
Wallis Simpson's yellow diamond earrings
Vladimir Emerald Drop tiara (nice)
Ingrid Alexandra's tiara
Swedish Cameo Crown
Russian Sapphire Wave tiara
Midnight tiara
Delhi Durbar necklace
...quite the haul...

Ah thank you @Maireas! Flowers Flowers

Not so grumpy about yours then @frugalkitty, since I do have a sapphire tiara of my own!

frugalkitty · 21/01/2023 20:32

Maireas please could you check what I've claimed? Off the top of my head I think it's
Max's engagement ring
Grace's original ruby and diamond engagement ring
TheSpencer tiara
QV's crown
QV's sapphire bandeau
Our late Queen's crown
the Septre
plus Osborne House and Hottie Haakon in the airing cupboard........

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/01/2023 20:34

Oh yes I think I own two Royal Palaces as well! Fredensborg and Marselisborg, IIRC.

Maireas · 21/01/2023 20:36

Indeed, @frugalkitty , plus Cambridge Lover's Knot

OP posts:
frugalkitty · 21/01/2023 20:38

Oh I'd forgotten about that! How careless of me! Thank you for checking.

MotherofPearl · 21/01/2023 20:44

Good grief @frugalkitty how on earth did you manage to nab the Lover's Knot and the Spencer tiara? Those are two amazing tiaras.

Maireas · 21/01/2023 20:48

Well, @MotherofPearl , you have the Romanov Pearl tiara, the Fife, the Greville Festoon and (drumroll..) Wallis Simpson's emerald engagement ring!

OP posts:
Maireas · 21/01/2023 20:51

I hope everyone is keeping a tally.
Also planning ahead!

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/01/2023 20:53

I’m shopping just now as I just don’t feel I have sufficient variety, so I shall have a few requests soon................

Greedy. Blush

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/01/2023 20:54

Greed is good!

https://www.marieclaire.com.au/biggest-tiaras

Link for anyone wanting to shop for a (large) tiara. Lots of these are taken though I think.

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/01/2023 21:30

Hmmm @Maireas i wonder if I’ve got a couple under a previous name too!

Seem to remember having asked for the Swedish cut steel tiara. Possibly the button one as well? Could be getting mixed up though.

Had a quick look at the link! Goodness they are huge.

If its not spoken for I’d love the Mellerio Ruby Tiara. Plus the earrings and brooch, please!

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/01/2023 21:31

*it’s

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/01/2023 21:46

Otherwise is CPM’s ruby tiara/the full parure available?

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/01/2023 21:53

I would also be rather chuffed to have Princess Ashraf's Ruby Tiara, if that one’s available! <crosses fingers>
