To inaugurate the presentation of the tiara on the global market, in fact, Sotheby&#8217;s has launched a new Instagram filter, with the aim of making this important historical jewel known to a 21st century audience, more accustomed to shaking images on their smartphones than attending auction sales. The filter can be found on Sotheby&#8217;s official Instagram profile (@sothebys) and on the one dedicated to jewels (@SothebysJewels). The filter allows you to virtually try on the tiara and take a picture of yourself while wearing it, against the 3D background of a historic Italian building, the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi in Turin, once among the residences of the House of Savoy.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91220\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IG-Filter-Example.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-91220\" src=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IG-Filter-Example.jpg\" alt=\"Il filtro Instagram permette di indossare virtualmente la tiara\" width=\"709\" height=\"566\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IG-Filter-Example.jpg 709w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IG-Filter-Example-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IG-Filter-Example-69x55.jpg 69w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IG-Filter-Example-400x319.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-91220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Il filtro Instagram permette di indossare virtualmente la tiara<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Tiaras have always been the flagship of great jewelry collections, but in the last decade their popularity has risen to unprecedented levels.

It was probably given to Maria Vittoria dal Pozzo as a wedding gift on the occasion of her marriage to Amadeo I of Savoy, Duke of Aosta, then King of Spain (1870-1873) in 1867. The tiara remained in the family for over 150 years and is believed to have been created by Musy Padre e Figli, court jeweler of Turin and one of the oldest goldsmiths in Europe. The jewel is composed of spiral motifs, cushion, circular and single cut diamonds, which frame 11 natural pearls in the shape of a slightly baroque drop. But the jewel was more recently worn as a necklace.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91222\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91222\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Royal-Tiara-in-natural-pearl-and-diamonds-Sothebys-Geneva-11-May-USD1-1-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Royal-Tiara-in-natural-pearl-and-diamonds-Sothebys-Geneva-11-May-USD1-1-4.jpg\" alt=\"La royal tiara in versione collana.
