Tiara Thursday! Her Majesty The Queen wearing Queen Mary’s Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.

This tiara was a wedding present from the ‘Girls of Great Britain and Ireland’ to the Duchess of York, later Queen Mary, in 1893. It was purchased with money raised by a committee chaired by Lady Eva Greville, who became one of Queen Mary’s ladies-in-waiting. In November 1947 Queen Mary gave the tiara as a wedding present to her grand-daughter, Princess Elizabeth. The Queen has worn the tiara regularly throughout her reign and is depicted wearing it on certain issues of British and Commonwealth banknotes and coinage.

It is Tiara Tuesday and sunny in London! What could be better than an exceptional antique tiara.?
Tiaras have a way of capturing the imagination like few other pieces of jewellery can: since ancient times, they have symbolised status, nobility, and romance. In the late nineteenth-century, tiaras were at their peak in popularity.
This tiara, created in around 1890, exemplifies the ornate opulence of the period. The wonderfully sparkling diamonds are arranged in a floral design: flowers, leaves, and vines weave through the tiara. Today, tiaras can be worn to weddings, white-tie events, and state occasions. This tiara can be transformed into a necklace, suitable for a black-tie event or a night at the opera. Romantic and naturalistic, this tiara is truly spectacular.

It is already Tiara Thursday!

A stunning and romantic Victorian tiara. Tiaras became fashionable items in the early nineteenth century, inspired by the diadems worn in the Ancient world. This wonderful tiara features floral stems which graduate in size from the centre. Each is set with sparkling old-cut diamonds and lustrous natural pearls. This elegant piece features the timeless combination of pearls and diamonds, and each stem is naturalistic and detailed. As with most tiaras of the period, the piece can be detached from its yellow gold frame and worn as a stunning necklace.
