A PLATINUM, GOLD AND DIAMOND TIARA/NECKLACE, SIGNED MUSY PADRE E FIGLI TORINO
Musy Padre e Figli is Turin's oldest jewelry and watchmaking company. Its production was so precious and precise that it quickly became the most sought-after jewelry store in Casa Savoia.
In 1868, Princess Margherita di Savoia entrusted the company with the reassembly of two bracelets on the occasion of her marriage to her cousin Umberto. From then on, Musy became the trusted jeweler of the woman who was to become Italy's first queen. Numerous jewels were created for her, and later became part of the Italian Crown Jewels.
In 1925, Musy Padre e Figli was licensed by King Vittorio Emanuele III to supply the royal household.
The most famous jewels
In 1868, Marguerite de Savoie received a pair of bracelets set with 34 diamonds, which she herself had asked to be reassembled and whose central part could be detached and used as a brooch. They were also asked to compose a large diamond diadem.
Also in 1868, the large noud brooch with pendant was delivered. The jewel was made from stones belonging to the Savoia family. In the center stands a large pink diamond, which legend has it was given by Marshal Auguste Marmont.
In 1883, the Great Diamond Tiara was created by order of Umberto I for the 15th anniversary of his marriage to Margherita di Savoia. For this precious diadem, the Queen provided pearls and jewellery of her own. The 'Grand Diadem' was delivered for the Christmas festivities and has since become the official tiara of the Queen of Italy.
In 1896, the five-flower diamond tiara was commissioned by Umberto I for Elena d'Aosta as a wedding gift.
In 1904, the Queen Mother commissioned the famous diamond and pearl tiara to mark the birth of the Crown Prince. The Queen Mother, who had passed on the great crown jewels to her daughter-in-law, asked Musy to create a new tiara from some of the jewels she had left behind. The new jewel had the unique feature of being removable, allowing 7 different tiaras to be created. Worn for the first time on the occasion of his grandson's christening, this extraordinary piece of jewelry was bequeathed to Umberto himself and became the favorite tiara of his wife, and last Queen of Italy, Maria José of Belgium.
