No, these pieces are not property of QueenEII or the royal family. Queen Victoria's emeralds were auctioned and are privately owned but at the Victoria and Albert museum on loan. The Fife and the Fife fringe were both loaned to the V&A by the Fife descendants in lieu of death tax... QEII did own the Oriental tiara that was another piece designed by Albert for Victoria, the Oriental tiara and it's accompanying necklace, earrings and brooch were originally set with opals and we're designated as Crown Jewels, that pass directly from monarch to monarch, by Queen Victoria. After Victoria's death the pieces went to Queen Alexandra who was never photographed in any of the pieces but she took the time to replace the opals with rubies, believing that opals were bad luck, these pieces are now called the Crown Rubies and the Queen Mum kept the rubies in her jewelry box instead of passing them to her daughter when she ascended to the throne. QEII also owned Queen Victoria's diamond coronation necklace and earrings featuring the Lahore Diamond, the Timur Ruby necklace, the Kent Amethysts that was passed to Victoria from her mother the Duchess of Kent and are some of the oldest pieces in the Royal collection, Queen Victoria's diamond and pearl Jubilee necklace, a diamond fringe tiara that QVic inherited from her aunt, Queen Adelaide that the Queen Mother had the tiara conversion removed and since has only been worn as a necklace and Queen Victoria's diamond and sapphire cluster wedding brooch that Albert gifted Victoria the night before their wedding, Victoria loved the sapphire diamond cluster brooch Albert gifted her she wore it front and center the next day at their wedding. These pieces will pass to King Charles then to William. Camilla already wears a piece that belonged to Queen Victoria, a diamond and sapphire brooch that was a jubilee gift to Queen Victoria by a few of her grandchildren, who were the children of Victoria's daughter the late Alice of Hesse. These grandchildren included Empress Alexandra of Russia and her sister Grand Duchess Ella. The brooch has a diamond heart with the Cyrillic number 60, which represented the number of years Vic had been on the throne, the brooch also has three beautiful sapphires including two sapphire pendants that hang down. Queen Victoria's brooch from her Hessian grandchildren, is called the Hesse brooch. This is the brooch Camilla wore to Queen Elizabeth II's funeral
Prince Albert didn't give it away, he died decades before Queen Victoria. After Albert's death Queen Victoria stayed in mourning until her own death and she didn't see most colored gemstones appropriate during mourning. Queen Victoria was in charge of her own will, property and jewels, she had lots of daughters and granddaughters and gifted them jewelry often after Albert died. Queen Victoria left her emeralds to her granddaughter Princess Louise the Duchess of Fife. The Fife family is so far from the throne that they don't need 3 tiaras and a 20 CT emerald for day to day use, so they have always been generous letting the V&A exhibit their jewels. Death taxes in England roared their ugly head for the Fife's and they have let their jewels be on "long term loan" to the museum in lieu of death taxes.
The emerald set wasn't designated as Crown Jewels by Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria had lots of children and grandchildren, these pieces did not stay in the main line. These pieces were inherited by Queen Victoria's granddaughter Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife. Louise's family still own the emeralds, they also still own Louise's two diamond tiaras that are also on display. The Fife descendants are so far from the throne, they don't attend royal events so they don't need the jewels everyday but England has death taxes and they loaned the royal jewels to the V&A museum in lieu of death taxes. They still own them
@@Aaron. No, that's the Danish Queen who is loaned the Danish crown jewels out of a museum. Queen Elizabeth has two jewelry collections, the Crown Jewels that are passed directly from monarch to monarch and she has her personal jewelry collection, these pieces in the museum do not belong to the Queen in any capacity. Queen Victoria had many children and grandchildren, her emeralds were inherited by her granddaughter Princess Louise the Duchess of Fife and they're still owned by the Fife family. The descendants of Louise are so far from the throne that they don't need 3 tiaras and a 20ct emerald for everyday use, so the Fife's have always been generous letting their jewelry be on exhibition. The last picture I can find of the Fife family wearing the tiara was at the state opening of Parliament in 1960, after QE2 was Queen. With death taxes the Fife family placed their jewels in the museum "on a long term loan" in lieu of death taxes, so they still own them. Many people like Mary Mayweather owned pieces but loaned them to museums... Queen Victoria had a lot of jewelry and she gave a lot to people who weren't in the main line and many pieces have been lost; her Sunray tiara, her ruby strawberry leaf tiara that was eventually inherited by her granddaughter Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain and her sapphire coronet was inherited by Mary Princess Royal, Countess of Harewood. Queen Elizabeth does own another tiara and parure that Albert designed for Victoria, the Oriental tiara and it's matching necklace, earrings and brooch. These pieces were originally set with opals but Queen Alexandra believed opals were bad luck and replaced them with rubies, they are now called the Royal Rubies.
The Jewelry Editor has been one of the joys of my life.
I sure hope Catherine gets this it's so beautiful. It would only look good on her.

Does this belong to QE II's collection? Is the Fife tiara also in her collection?

Those things should be property of the nation once the monarch dies .......
@@anneneville6255Why on earth should they be?
I can't believe the family allowed that set to be sold.
stunning
Beautiful ❤️
Can Catherine, Princess of Wales wear this? Or they have specific people to wear?
Gosh I love royal jewelry
Could have been longer and covered all the pieces.
pls. Kindly more post of queen Victoria jewel crown ,no time to travel your country
Fabulous 💚
Gorgeous. It’s a shame those pieces cannot be worn anymore…
That's gorgeous. Why did Prince Albert give this away why isn't it in the road jewels?
Prince Albert didn't give it away, he died decades before Queen Victoria. After Albert's death Queen Victoria stayed in mourning until her own death and she didn't see most colored gemstones appropriate during mourning.

Death taxes in England roared their ugly head for the Fife's and they have let their jewels be on "long term loan" to the museum in lieu of death taxes.
Why are these pieces in the museum instead of Queen Elizabeths collection?
Queen Elizabeth use it when she needs to, she leaves it there when she does not use it.
The emerald set wasn't designated as Crown Jewels by Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria had lots of children and grandchildren, these pieces did not stay in the main line. These pieces were inherited by Queen Victoria's granddaughter Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife.
