Hat Jewel
Hat-jewel, mounted in silver and gold, with 118 rose-cut diamonds, the biggest weighing 24.4 carats. Its bow and link forms copy fabric trimmings popular at the time. Friedrich August III, King of Poland and Duke of Saxony, wore this fabulous ornament on gala occasions as part of an "all-white" diamond suite that included a shoulder knot, buttons for waistcoat and coat, buckles for belt and shoes, sword, and insignia of the Order of the Polish Eagle.
