The Strawberry Leaf Ruby Diamond Coronet
A diamond tiara of strawberry leaves that was once set with rubies, a favorite jewel of Queen Victoria. The Queen owned many tiaras, some of which are now altered, such as this item, which she had worn at Princess Louise wedding in 1871.
Since her husband Prince Albert’s death, the jewels and jewelry which he had arranged for her were talismanic for her.
Along with the tiara there was a matching ruby and diamond necklace and brooch matching the coronet pattern tiara consisting of 14 lozenge-shaped clusters & 13 strawberry leaves with ruby and diamond band - part of a suite with necklace, brooch and earrings.
The suite was given to Queen Victora's daughter, Princess Beatrice, on her marriage 23 July 1885.
Princess Beatrice then passed it on to her daughter, above, Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenburg (Queen consort of Spain)
