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.

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.
