Princess Eugenie Dazzles in Emerald Tiara From Queen Elizabeth’s Collection

The Burmese Ruby tiara is also comprised of wedding gifts for Queen Elizabeth. The diamonds came from a different tiara given to the queen by the Nizam of Hyderabad. The rubies are from, you guessed it, Burma. Rubies are meant to signify good health, and the 96 rubies in this tiara were meant to guard the wearer against the 96 afflictions that can hurt the human body. Due to Elizabeth's long reign, we'd be willing to believe that the rubies have worked their magic!

Spencer Tiara

There are two tiaras that Diana is best known for, but let's take a moment to appreciate the Spencer tiara, an heirloom in Diana's family. Diana was originally loaned the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara from her mother-in-law-to-be. However, she decided to honor her own legacy with this stunning and understated beauty, a swirl of diamonds fit for the beautiful princess.

However, the aforementioned tiara was definitely Lady Di's favorite when it came to the royal family. A combination of diamonds and pearls from Mary's personal collection, the Lover's Knot was commissioned by Queen Mary and passed down from Elizabeth to Diana. Unfortunately, the heavy combination of jewels hurt Diana's head, so she was seen more regularly with the lighter Spencer tiara.

Following Diana's divorce, the loaned piece was returned to the Buckingham palace vault. But its legacy continues: Kate Middleton has taken the tiara for a twirl on at least three occasions!

Princess Eugenie went without a veil while wearing this stunning tiara for her wedding to Jack Brooksbank. The Greville tiara was made for Dame Margaret Helen Greville in 1919 and was passed down to Queen Elizabeth, but had rarely been seen before Eugenie's nuptials.

Meghan Markle wowed the crowds on her wedding day with the stunning Queen Mary's Sapphire Bandeau Tiara. The headdress belonged to Queen Elizabeth's grandmother, Queen Mary, who bought the diamond-studded tiara from Garrard in 1925. Queen Elizabeth’s sister, Princess Margaret, also wore the bandeau at past events.

This piece is made up of Victorian-era gemstones that were gifted to Queen Elizabeth as a wedding present from her father, King George VI. Originally a decadent necklace and earring set, the queen decided to give her jewelry a royal makeover in the '60s. She purchased a sapphire necklace that belonged to Louise of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a Belgian princess, and in combining her gemstones had this true blue masterpiece created.

Without question, this is the queen's signature tiara, which was passed down with a whole lot of love from her grandmother. It was originally a wedding gift for Queen Mary, who married King George V way back in 1893. When it was Elizabeth's turn to get married in 1947, Mary passed down the royal wedding tiara, much to Liz's delight. Hearsay is that she lovingly referred to it as "Granny's tiara." And now that Queen Elizabeth is long a grandmother herself (and a great-grandmother, no less), it feels fitting that it's become her mainstay.

In 1953, on the eve of her coronation, the queen received a sparkling necklace and earring set from the president and nation of Brazil. Set in platinum and decked out with diamonds, the starring gems in these pieces were the stunning slabs of aquamarine. Over the years, Brazil gifted a bracelet and brooch to go with it. In 1957, the queen commissioned the court jeweler to complete the set with a diamond-and-aquamarine tiara. The queen just loves to match, and we completely respect that! 

As a favorite of the queen's and another coronation gift, this piece has Russian roots. It was an anniversary gift for Elizabeth's great-grandmother, Queen Alexandra, who wanted something a little different (she commissioned a crown in line with a traditional Russian headdress). Her inspiration? Her sister Empress Maria Feodorovna, known affectionately as "Minnie" by friends and family.

The York tiara doesn't get as much attention as Elizabeth and Diana's headdresses, but it's the go-to crown of Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, the Duchess of York. Hearsay is that the tiara was a wedding gift from the Queen, who commissioned it from Garrard upon Fergie's marriage to Prince Andrew. Though the couple divorced in 1996, the tiara hasn't left Fergie's famed red hair since the split.

There isn't really a formal title here because, well, the Countess seemed to march to the beat of her own drum when creating her wedding diadem. The piece, made up of three prominent diamond leaflets, doesn't have an extensive traceable history. The most commonly held belief is that it's constructed by pieces from Queen Victoria's circlet. And though some may believe there's a certain lack of artistry in the bold piece, it's absolutely beloved by the Countess of Wessex. She's only been seen in one other tiara her entire time as a royal!

Like her late mother-in-law, Kate Middleton went with a tiara that displayed delicate elegance on her wedding day. The story is that it was a gift from King George to Queen Elizabeth before (a starter tiara, if you will). But while the queen favors larger pieces, this looks perfectly at home on Kate — and still regal in every way. 

The Lotus Flower tiara is a piece very of its time. It was originally commissioned for the Queen Mother, converting it from a necklace she received as a gift during her 1923 wedding. It hasn't gotten a whole lot of use, but Kate decided to wear it for a Buckingham Palace banquet, pairing it with a stunning red gown.
