Diamond and Sapphire Coronet Replica

 

This petite diamond and sapphire diadem was designed by Prince Albert and made by Joseph Kitching in the early 1840s. In 1842, Victoria famously wore it in a portrait by Winterhalter, and it was one of the rare pieces of jewelry with colored gemstones that she continued to wear during her widowhood. Today, the tiara is on public display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
