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.
