Vintage A. Tillander Diamond Platinum Tiara

About the Item

An A. Tillander diamond platinum tiara, circa 1910. This exceptional diamond tiara by A. Tillander is beautifully handcrafted in platinum. The tiara is composed of intertwining, scrolled sections grain and bezel set with transitional and eight cut diamonds providing a beautiful amount of sparkle to the jewel. The tiara has been assessed by ourselves as having an estimated total diamond weight of 3.05cts carats approximately, which are graded as G in colour with a VS1 clarity. The handmade frame that the tiara sits on is made of German Silver and handstitched brown velvet. Signed 'A.Tillander' to the reverse of the tiara. Dimensions: 12 x 4.5cm Condition - Overall the condition of the tiara is very good, in keeping with its general age. The tiara is accompanied by a complimentary valuation for insurance and authenticity. A.Tillander was founded in Finland by Alexander Tillander who worked for a German master goldsmith named Carl Becks who was a supplier for the Russian Imperial court. In 1860, Alexander set up his own company in St Petersburg, this grew to be a success famed for its high quality workmanship. At this time Tillander produced a lot of classical revival jewellery featuring filigree and granulation and objects d’art made of precious materials. Tillander still have a shop which resides in Helsinki today, now in the hands of the fourth generation of Tillanders.

  • Tiara & Necklace Diamonds, Diamond Briolettes for Wedding or Gala 8 TCW Art Deco
    Located in Southbury, CT
    This Art Deco 18K white gold and diamond tiara is an exceptionally rare and gorgeous jewel. Created entirely by hand in the 1930s, this semi-flexible 15" tiara is composed of thirty 9mm long by 3.15 rectangular segments of 18k white gold, each of which is channel-set with four tiny brilliant round diamonds. Each rectangular segment is joined to the other by a bezel-set round brilliant. Beginning three-quarters of the way forward on the tiara are nine upside-down "U" shaped mountings, each of which is set with two round brilliant diamonds on the interior and then three additional diamonds atop the rounded portion of the "U." The diamonds are close-backed, so a perfectly accurate weight cannot be obtained, but using a geological mathematical formula, I estimate the total diamond weight on the frame of the tiara to be approximately 3.8 carats. Not counting the freely-dangling diamond briolettes. There are nine, and they are magnificent, fire-filled, and faceted tears of joy. Each measures approximately 5.45mm x 3.44mm x 2.89mm which, again, by formula, suggests a diamond weight of between .51 -.57 carats. So we will go with the lower number, as we always do here, and this gives us a diamond weight for the briolettes alone of 4.59 carats. Altogether, this simultaneously subtle and spectacular tiara has a total -approximate- diamond carat weight of 8.39 carats. The tiara has a length of approximately 12". This is a tiara that can be worn in several ways. It can "surround" the base of a bun atop the head, or could be similarly positioned lower toward the nape to adorn a chignon, or it could be pinned to the very top of the head where it could secure a wedding veil into position. So this is not a tiara like the Princess of Wales's favorite tiara, The Lover's Knot; but then is a tiara of that scale ever appropriate for one who is not a duchess, a princess of a reigning monarch? This is an absolutely perfect wedding tiara...
