Pearl Poiré Tiara
This looks so much like Queen Elizabeth II's Tiara but with Pearls! I do think that is L-O-V-L-E-Y
Midnight Tiara
Diamond Floral Tiara
Crown Princess Mary's Wedding Tiara
Saleha's Diamond and Ruby Tiara
Savoy-Aosta Tiara
Queen Elisabeth's Diamond Bandeau Tiara
This tiara was made in the early twentieth century for Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians. Queen Paola wears it often. And Princess Mathilde has only worn this tiara once, at her wedding in December of 1999. Queen Paola was given the tiara from her newly-wed husband (in 1965) who inherited it from his grandmother.

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.
Diamond and Pearl Tiara
Habsburg Diamond and Pearl Bandeau
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.
