King Albert and Queen Carola Gold and Silver Diamond and Emerald Bracelet
Mauritz Elimeyer
Circa 1852

This exceptional gold and silver bracelet is a remarkable royal commission, created for King Albert of Saxony as a personal gift to his bride, Queen Carola of Vasa, to celebrate their marriage in 1853. The intricate design features the intertwined names “Albert” and “Carola,” with Albert’s name set in vivid emeralds and Carola’s in shimmering diamonds. The bracelet’s articulated links and openwork detailing reflect the superb craftsmanship of its maker, Dresden’s crown jeweler Mauritz Elimeyer. Enhancing the brilliance of this royal treasure, the clasp doubles as a convertible detachable brooch, showcasing two intertwined hearts set with antique diamonds and custom cut emeralds.

King Albert and Queen Carola’s wedding, held on June 18, 1853, marked a union between two influential European houses. Despite initial opposition to the marriage—Carola converted to Catholicism against her father’s wishes—their relationship blossomed into a happy and lasting bond. Albert, the eldest son of King John I of Saxony, rose to prominence as King of Saxony in 1873, reigning until his death in 1902. His military career saw him participate in the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian Wars, witnessing the unification of Germany. Carola, known for her philanthropic work, became a beloved figure in Saxony, recognized for her support of charitable causes and dedication to public service.

Mauritz Elimeyer’s creations for the Saxon court were celebrated for their refined craftsmanship and attention to detail, securing his legacy as one of the premier jewelers of his era. This bracelet, preserved in its original fitted case, stands as a rare testament to the grandeur and romance of 19th-century European aristocracy.
