Timeless Beauty Thank you @h.e.r_jewels for this great post! ・・・ The Jewels of Princess Fawzia and the Crown Prince Mohammad Reza Wedding - Part II
The occasion of The Royal Union of the Crown Prince of Iran to the favorite sister of the King of Egypt brought Van Cleef & Arpels the commission of the century. All items ordered are very well documented however some of the actual jewels are missing to this day like the bride’s, Princess Fawzia, wedding diamond tiara and necklace. The sublime tiara is made of 54 pear shaped diamonds weighing 92 carats and 530 baguette cut diamonds for 72 carats. The necklace is a superb example of late Art Deco design from the French maison. Undoubtedly some of the most exquisite pieces of jewelry made in the late 1939. However what happened to Princess Fawzia VCA tiara and necklace? Let’s wish they reappear very soon
