Sunderland's Royal Jewel Vault (22/∞) ♛

↬ Gordon Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara

Many tiaras within the royal vault are instantly recognizable, being worn by noted members of the family for most of their adult lives. Some, however, are more mysterious and have yet to be worn in public at all. The Gordon Aquamarine Kokoshnik is one of the more evasive tiaras in the vault, with its existence only being hinted at for the better part of seventy years. The tiara didn't enter royal hands through inheritance but through a substantial acquisition of jewellery. In 1962, King James II and Queen Katherine purchased an unknown amount of high jewels from their friend, Dame Martha Gordon. One of the acquired tiaras, the Gordon Lattice Tiara, became a favourite of the Queen, but a second aquamarine tiara was never worn in public. The reason for this is unknown, it's possible the tiara wasn't to the Queen's taste or that she did wear the tiara in private. Whatever the reason, evidence of the tiara was fickle until the early 21st century. However, there is evidence of the tiara's previous owner wearing the jewel. The well-travelled Mrs. Gordon was a frequent guest in royal circles and she was noted to be wearing a "halo-shaped tiara of aquamarines and diamonds" to the 1954 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Glencairin. In 1939, Martha commissioned the tiara from Boucheron after she was awe-struck by a similar piece owned by Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden. The tiara was recreated down to the enormous aquamarines and delicate lattice patterning. In early 2004, the tiara had a rare opportunity to emerge from the vault when Courtney Borroughs-Parker, the fiancée of King Louis V's second son Prince Phillip, chose it as her preferred bridal diadem. Media reports around the time claimed that Courtney had "fallen in love" with a tiara "with huge aquamarines that complimented her blue eyes perfectly". Many assumed the aquamarine tiara was the more popular Georgiyevna Tiara, but it was later revealed to be a "mystery tiara" that had never been seen before. However, in the weeks that followed, it was reported that Courtney had run into a roadblock in the form of Queen Irene's senior dresser, Diana Keating. Mrs. Keating, known as the gatekeeper of the royal family's private jewels, refused to clear the tiara for Courtney's use. Why Keating made this choice is unknown, but the ensuing drama cultivated in Queen Irene scolding her future daughter-in-law for "causing a scene". Ultimately, King Louis V purchased a tiara new tiara for Courtney. This tiara, known as the Woodbine Diamond Tiara, was the only tiara Courtney wore publicly during her marriage. The aquamarine kokoshnik once again returned to the vault, and hasn't been whispered of since. When or if the tiara will finally get its day in the sun remains a mystery, hopefully, we won't have to wait another 70 years.

May 7th is Speak Your Language Day!

Remember that Speak Your Language Day isn't my idea initially! I may be the first to combine it with Sims but who knows? Anyway...

We simmers come from around the world and many of us speak more than one language but most posts are (understandably) in English. But on May 7th, make a post in your mother tongue! If it's English, maybe use your dialect etc.? Since this is simblr, make it somehow Sims-related. You can use any Sims game.

The post can be just as simple as you like, there are no guidelines. If you have no time to create anything from scratch, you could translate some old post of yours.

Use your 🌈✨ imagination and creativity! 🌈✨

When you post, use tag speak your language day simblr and let's reblog each other's posts :)

PS. maybe add translations to your posts so we all know what's going on ;)

For reference, this is what I've done in previous years:

In 2021, I did a short AU story with my Something About us main characters (including some Finnish May Day traditions)

In 2022, I made this short story (and spent way too much time frankenmeshing the ship, haha).

Lorenza Living Room Set

Hey everyone!

I'm happy to announce that my new cc collection is finished and you can download it at the bottom of this post! For this collection, I drew inspiration from Italian interior design, blending it with the edgy allure of metallic elements. Nearly every item incorporates some form of metal detail. To balance the coolness of metal, I incorporated natural elements such as raw wood for the coffee table and the jute rug. I aimed to create a sense of tradition through the paintings while maintaining a fresh and modern approach to the whole collection. I made a Frame TV which is base game compatible so you can use it without having the Modern Luxe kit! I hope you will like the items, any feedback is really appreciated!

Coffee Table Book Big

Coffee Table Book Small

Coffee Table

Vase of Hydrangeas

transcript under the cut

[VICTORIA]: Wow, looks like packing is going well

[ADELINE]: Yeah, I’ve been watching dorm hauls on YouTube for days, but honestly Kate has been way more helpful than any of them

[VICTORIA]: I’m glad you’re finally getting more excited about it

[ADELINE]: Packing has definitely made it feel more real…

[ADELINE]: I guess… I don’t know I still just feel like maybe this is a bad idea

[ADELINE]: This just feels like such a huge thing, y’know? I’ve talked it through with Kate about 20 times but I still feel like I might be making a mistake

[ADELINE]: Not to mention the fact that Tilly is still pissed and not talking to me for leaving

[VICTORIA]: Addie, slow down

[ADELINE]: And I’m going to be taking away time from royal duties and learning what will actually matter to my life just to go get socialized

[VICTORIA]: I don’t know about that…

[ADELINE]: I just don’t know what to do

[VICTORIA]: Yes, Addie. You do

[ADELINE]: Then why does it feel so selfish?

[ADELINE]: And like I’m failing Tilly

[VICTORIA]: You don’t have a selfish bone in your body. And even if you did, doing something for yourself every once in a while doesn’t make you selfish

[VICTORIA]: For once in your life, you need to stop trying to be everything to everyone and just do what YOU need

[VICTORIA]: I know Tilly is upset, but it’s not your responsibility to put her happiness above your own. She needs you to be a sister, not a parental stand-in

[VICTORIA]: You deserve to enjoy your youth, hun. All of this will be here to learn and deal with when you get back, but for now you deserve to live a little

[VICTORIA]: You deserve to enjoy your youth, hun. You have plenty of time, and all of this will be here to learn and deal with when you get back, but for now you deserve to live a little

[VICTORIA]: This is your time

By the 1500s we start to see the broad and square silhouette come into fashion for men. This impressive shape was achieved through the use of over-the-top sleeves, balloon-like pants and overcoats made from layers upon layers of billowing fabric. Wealth and status were communicated through rich fabrics and opulent ornamentation, with some English and French lords even bankrupting themselves to pay for these wardrobes.

⚜ Le Cabinet Noir | Episode III, N°1 | Tuileries palace, 14 Thermidor An 230

Emperor Napoleon V and his wife Charlotte are worried about the presence of Louis Simparte on French soil. He is a notorious anti-imperialist, a sort of black sheep of the family. It seems he has decided to move back to Francesim. He has published a book "Freedom" in which he recounts his family's mistreatment of him, culminating in his liberating divorce from the mother of his children and the imperial family. The emperor has decided not to censor the book, nor to prosecute the author immediately, which is causing controversy among the Simparte people.

Finally, Napoleon V couldn't resist revealing to his wife that he and his uncle had a plan for dealing with the "Louis Simparte" case, without going into details.

Beginning ▬ Next

⚜ Traduction française

L'empereur Napoléon V et son épouse Charlotte sont inquiets de la présence sur le territoire français de Louis Simparte. C'est un anti-impérialiste notoire, une sorte de mouton noir de la famille. Il semblerait que ce dernier ait décidé de venir habiter à nouveau en Francesim. Il a publié un livre "Liberté" où il raconte les mauvais traitements familiaux qu'il a traversé jusqu'à son divorce libérateur avec la mère de ses enfants. L'empereur a décidé de ne pas censurer le livre, ni de poursuivre l'auteur en justice immédiatement, ce qui fait polémique au sein des Simparte.

Finalement, Napoléon V ne peut s'empêcher de révéler à son épouse que lui et son oncle ont un plan pour gérer le cas "Louis Simparte", sans rentrer dans les détails.

(Napoléon) Je l'ai feuilleté, un peu

(Charlotte) Tu te fais du mal (Napoléon) Je sais, mais comment faire autrement ?

(Charlotte) Tu ne m'as rien dit à propos de ton grand-père (Napoléon) Je ne l'ai jamais rencontré. Oncle Henri dit qu'il a trahi notre famille pour "vivre libre"

(Charlotte) Ton oncle doit être furieux (Napoléon) Il ne laisse rien paraître mais c'est évident

(Napoléon) Quel genre de père écrit "Liberté" à la mort de son fils ? (Charlotte) Pourquoi ne veux-tu pas le poursuivre en justice ?

(Napoléon) Je ne veux pas satisfaire les paparazzis

(Charlotte) Louis, tu dois faire quelque chose, il ne peut pas parader autour de nous pendant ton couronnement

(Napoléon) Ne t'en fais pas, oncle Henri et moi on a un plan
