Dutch Diamond Bandeau Tiara


This bandeau, composed of a collection of large diamonds which were given by the nation to Queen Emma in 1879, was made in the 1930s.
 


 

Antique Pearl Tiara

This tiara was made for Queen Wilhelmina around the turn of the twentieth century, but the large pearls which sit on the tiara's spikes actually date from the 1600s. The tiara can be worn either in its full setting or in a smaller setting without the pearls.

Queen Margherita's Musy Tiara

Made in 1904 by Musy for Queen Margherita of Italy, this versatile diamond and pearl tiara was commissioned in celebration of the birth of the future King Umberto III, Margherita's grandson. Margherita's daughter-in-law, Queen Marie José, received the tiara after her death; today it is worn by Princess Marina of Savoy.
 

Dragonfly Tiara

This diamond and ruby tiara, made in the early twentieth century, features dragonflies mounted en tremblant so that they move when the wearer moves. It is now worn by Princess Camilla of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, likely purchased for her at auction by her wealthy family, the Crocianis.
 

Ancona Tiara

This diamond and pearl tiara has a complex Italian history. It was made in 1817 for the wedding of Princess Maria Anna of Saxony to Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany; the piece eventually made its way into the Bourbon-Two Sicilies family and to the Duchess of Ancona. Her descendents sold the tiara at auction, but it unexpectedly reappeared on Princess Camilla of Bourbon-Two Sicilies at the wedding of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark in 2004.


Ruby Olive Wreath Tiara

 This nineteenth-century tiara, made with pigeon's blood rubies and olive branch motifs, dates to the reign of George I of Greece; the tiara was worn by his wife, Grand Duchess Olga Constantinovna of Russia. The tiara passed through the Greek royal family and was given to the last Greek queen, Anne-Marie, by her mother-in-law, Queen Friederike. Anne-Marie retains the tiara and wears it frequently today.

Princess Claire has worn this tiara twice, at her wedding and at Crown Prince Frederik's wedding in May of 2004. Which might indicate that she bought this tiara.

Laurel Wreath Tiara




Made by London jewelers Hennel & Sons in 1912, this tiara includes 631 diamonds in a classic laurel wreath design and can be removed from its frame for use as a necklace. It was a gift from the Belgian nobility to Mathilde for her wedding to Prince Philippe in 1999. Mathilde was of course a member of the Belgian nobility herself prior to marrying the next King of the Belgians.

Habsburg Diamond and Pearl Bandeau

 This tiara was worn by Archduchess Francesca on her wedding day in 1993. It is an antique bandeau made of diamond floral motifs with pearls at their centers; according to some sources, the tiara was once owned by Empress Elisabeth "Sissi" of Austria.

Emerald and Diamond Wreath Tiara

 Sources suggest that this piece, which is worn both as a tiara and a necklace by Archduchess Francesca von Habsburg, the wife of Archduke Karl (the current head of the House of Habsburg), was originally owned by the Hanoverian royal family but sold at auction. The piece is composed of diamond wreath elements interspersed with large emeralds.

Daisy Diamond Tiara



This tiara is a small bandeau of diamonds set in daisy shapes and enclosed in circles with a scalloped edge, so we will call it the Diamond Daisy Tiara. It was made in 1910, and was a wedding gift from King Harald and Queen Sonja to Mette-Marit.

Cate Blanchett wore either this same tiara or a copy in the movie An Ideal Husband. That movie came out in 1999, 2 years before the wedding, so it may indeed be the same tiara. Knowing that Garrard's provided jewels to the moviemakers and that the Norwegian royal family have used Garrard's as a jeweler in the past, it's reasonable to guess that the royal family purchased this in Britain sometime before the wedding.

Since then, it has become Mette-Marit's most frequently worn tiara.
