What kind of jewels could Britain's richest woman possibly own? Did she begin her mornings wearing diamonds while having breakfast or receive tiaras as casually as bouquets of flowers? Today you will learn the story of Hannah de Rothschild, Countess of Rosebery, who gathered her impressive jewelry collection through her marriage.
But these jewels have both tragic and unique story. Hannah de Rothschild lived only thirty-nine years, and the jewels created for her wedding outlived her by nearly a century and a half. Her jewels moved from the Rothschild dynasty to the Roseberys and then to the Roxburghes, demonstrating how her marriage shaped the movement of great jewels between Britain's leading noble families.
