The necklace was designed in 1935 by world-renowned jewelry and watch-making firm, Cartier Inc. The magnificent cushion-cut sapphire is set in a platinum pendant surrounded by white baguette diamonds and smaller square-cut blue sapphires. While her other jewels, including her Pearl Circle Tiara, have been passed down to her daughter Princess Désirée of Hohenzollern, Princess Sibylla’s Sapphire Necklace remains with Princess Birgitta and will no doubt be seen in the future. The Bismarck Sapphire Necklace features a stunning 98.6 carat cornflower-blue Sri Lankan (Ceylon) sapphire. Notable appearences include the Wedding of her sister, Princess Christina, and the Weddings of her nieces, Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Madeline. She removed two of the pendants to make into earrings, and has also worn the necklace without any pendants, paired with the Connaught Diamond Tiara and Queen Sofia’s 9-Prong Tiara from the Swedish vaults as well as Tiaras from the Hohenzollern family. However, it was her younger daughter, Princess Birgitta of Hohenzollern, who inherited her mother’s Bulgarian Wedding Gift Necklace.

Princess Sibylla wore her Sapphire Necklace frequently throughout her life, often paired with her Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara or favourite Connaught Diamond Tiara and a pair of non-coordinating cabochon sapphire and diamond earrings, with and without its pendants.
