German Jewels - Last German Empress Auguste-Viktoria

Some of last German Kaiserin Auguste-Viktoria´s jewels on old pics. Really not all. There were much more at that time.
Most imperial and royal jewels of the Kaiserhaus are disappeared after WW I. Some have "survived". They are in the foundation of the House von Hohenzollern (Prussia).
They were shown all 20 or 30 years (in average) to the public in one German museum (for perhaps 3 weeks) and afterwards they are disappeared from the public eye for the next 20 years. I have seen them in such an exhibition in the 1980s. By the memory of this exhibition I had the idea to make this video.
At rare events like royal weddings one can see some of the Prussian jewels.
These Prussian jewels are "hidden pieces" till today.

really beautiful, but have you noticed that if they had large hair, the crown was very tiny plopped in the middle? No disrespect, just an observation.

@Hochichin, you have brought it to the point. It was a funny fashion with these huge hair styles and hair masses on the head (I don´t believe all own :-)) I have seen some of these tiaras in an exhibition years ago. That are really big tiaras, but they look tiny on such a hair mountain. - Similar case like the little crown which Queen Victoria weared. After her death Alexandra weared it and it looked double big / sized because Alexandra didn´t had such a big head like Victoria

Hi, Uncle Pete! An amazing video!  Truly, one half does not know how the other half live..or with the current economic conditions, it has become 99% and 1% now. I guess it's not surprising that the jewels disappeared from view! Thanks!

Good to hear from you! :) Jack

In Kriesenzeiten zu empfehlen ist das tragen von Juwelen.
