So did mine. I could have included 15 pictures in this blog post, but I didn't. I'm waiting for a reply from them about how I could contribute some things from my own collection. Also, I know people who have collections to die for, and their contributions would also be magnificent. So we'll see if they reply! They sent me the letter announcing the museum, and I was fainting. ;-) Peggy, LMAO. So did mine. I could have included 15 pictures in this blog post, but I didn’t.

I have a comb collection which unfortunately, due to lack of space, I have boxed and packed away. I am thinking of selling everything and was wondering if you knew of a website where I could compare prices. Most of what I have is antique primitive SE Asian but there are a few other pieces which are newer or new from Japan, Europe, India and Africa. Thank you Monique Hello Barbra.

]]> Comment on Swedish Royal Wedding by Michael http://barbaraanneshaircombblog.com/2010/06/20/swedish-royal-wedding/#comment-184 Michael Tue, 13 Jul 2010 18:16:23 +0000 http://barbaraanneshaircombblog.com/?p=588#comment-184 Hi, Barbara Anne! And thanks for the work you do on this blog. I am a fan of royal history, particularly Swedish, and am excited to see you acknowledging the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria last month. Many of the fans of the Swedish Royal Family debated on whether or not she would wear the cameo tiara and whether or not she could pull it off. I think she did so beautifully...but I am a big fan of both her and the tiara! My interest in the Swedish royalty naturally led me to interest in their jewelry. I don't know if your readers will be interested, but I have some more information for you regarding these jewels. The cameo tiara originally belonged to Empress Josephine of France and was a gift from her husband at the time, Napoleon I. The full parure includes a cameo brooch with a profile of the French emperor. The tiara of HM Queen Silvia originally belonged to the Empress of Brazil, a sister of the Swedish Queen Josefina, both granddaughters of the Empress Josephine. The jewels Queen Silvia wears with the diamond tiara are not amethysts, but pink sapphires from Imperial Russia, which came to Sweden through a series of marriages into the royal houses of Germany and were later inherited from her mother by Princess Victoria of Baden, who became Queen Consort of Gustav V of Sweden. By the way, the beautiful diamond and pearl tiara worn by HM Queen Margrethe II of Denmark originates in Sweden as well. It came to Denmark with Princess Lovisa of Sweden as a wedding gift when she married the future Frederik VIII of Denmark. All this information came from the many friends and students of royalty at The Royal Forums message boards, Glittering Royal Events message boards, and Royal Jewels of the World message boards. Thanks again for the work you do. I sometimes learn more about some of the same pieces I have seen on other sites or on the auction sites. Keep up the good work! Michael Hi, Barbara Anne!

I just wanted to let you know, that the Qing Dynasty ended in 1912, and there is no current dynastic rule in China. Also, Kazakhstan is an independent country and is not part of China. Anyway, thanks for the interesting pictures! Hi there,
