Queen Mary's Bandeau Tiara
Hi! As you guessed from the title, I'll not just going to talk about plants. Another big passion of mine is royalty and their jewels.
Many of you might recognize this tiara from the Royal Wedding that happened on the 19th of May. That was a BEAUTIFUL fairytale. I can't get enough of watching the bride enter the chapel; it was a very iconic and overall a romantic wedding. I find it more romantic than Will and Kate's. Maybe because their wedding was a STATE Wedding, it was supposed to be more formal, while Harry and Meghan's was more relaxed. You can see that by the fact that Prince Harry broke tradition: he watched Meghan going down the aisle, and held hands after, and they are not supposed to.
Anyway, back to business: This tiara was specially made in 1932 to carry the central diamond cluster, which happens to be a brooch that was gifted to Princess Mary of Teck (the Future Queen Mary, who is the current Queen's grandmother) on the occasion of her wedding to the future King George V in 1893.
The tiara, set in platinum, is of symetrical design, true to the art deco trend at the time, featuring identical clusters on either side that are similar to the central one. They are interlaced with rows of pavé diamonds, creating lozenges. It has 11 parts that can be separated and worn alone as brooches.
Not seen since her death in 1953 (Queen Elizabeth's coronation year), it was kept in the royal vaults for 65 years, only to finally re-appear on Meghan's (now the Duchess of Sussex) head, and I must say, it fits her modern style and was a great compliment to her simple dress.
