A Christie's employee holds an early 19th-century Sapphire and Diamond Tiara, estimated between CHF 140'000-250'000, above a Sapphire and Diamond Collier, a Brooche and Bracelet, all belonging once owned by Napoleon?s adopted daughter, Stephanie de Beauharnais, during a preview at Christie's, in Geneva, Switzerland, Friday, May 7, 2021. May 2021 marks 200 years since the death of Emperor Napoléon I (1769-1821), and it is an extraordinary coincidence that this spectacular parure of sapphires and diamonds, from the collection of his adoptive daughter, Stephanie de Beauharnais, Grand Duchess of Baden (1789-1860) will be offered for sale at Christie?s Magnificent Jewels auction in Geneva on 12 May 2021.
