I think we have at least one tiara each, according to my spreadsheet. Some have parures. Any newbies welcome, log your choices.

We now need some good events involving proper sparkle and ballgowns.

Well I do have a tiara and I love a sequin - may I join?

Chrysanthemum5 · 24/10/2021 16:26

P.s. not a real diamond tiara

Maireas · 24/10/2021 16:30

I’d love to be more Amy and be able to wear a tiara. Grin

Checking in. Thanks for the new thread Maireas.

Beatrice Borromeo in the latest Buccellati ad campaign. I'm not a fan of the jewellery, personally, but she's certainly very beautiful.

I wear my tiara on zoom calls and Christmas parties.

In terms of royal tiaras I'd have them all but I did like the one the duchess of Sussex wore at her wedding

Maireas · 24/10/2021 16:48

Thanks, MoP - I might be persuaded to go for those earrings.

I like your style. Sorry, that bandeau tiara is spoken for. Have a look around for another one. There's a pretty one belonging to Princess Anne, worn by Autumn Philips at her wedding.

It's called the Festoon Tiara, given to Anne by a shipping company when she launched a ship.

Thank you for the new thread, Maireas. The title's perfect. 👑

KillingMeDeftly · 24/10/2021 17:05

Only the ever-practical Princess Anne would have a tiara given to her by a shipping company!!

Chrysanthemum5 · 24/10/2021 17:08

Ah I need to pick one no one else wants?

"The Festoon Tiara, given to Anne by a shipping company when she launched a ship."
Back in the day my Dad was a salesman selling cotton to Lancashire cotton mills to make into bedlinen. He would very occasionally be given a sample of an end of line of a flat sheet and that was regarded as very exciting. Dad was in the wrong job! 🤣

NMR has more photos from the Greek "royal" wedding. I really do think the bride might be pregnant. If she isn't then she needs to sack her dressmaker!

One of the guests is wearing a gorgeous ruby gown with a jewelled neckline.

Has anyone asked for the princess Andrew's meander tiara as worn by my favourite royal the princess royal? www.thecourtjeweller.com/2018/06/princess-andrews-meander-tiara.html

And there will be an actual royal wedding this coming week as Princess Mako is finally getting married! Or at least it'll be royal until she says "I do" and then she's immediately demoted to commoner.

Maireas · 24/10/2021 17:15

Sorry, Chrysanthemum, that belongs to Chesterelly.

I’m guessing the Burmese ruby tiara is taken?

I really like the colour scheme of the Greek wedding- the rich, golden yellow sashes and the hints of purple and blue look fresh and joyful. I agree the dress looks like it may be accommodating a small bump, and far too much bulk around the top, but I sort of like it. The less said about the hideous floral adult bridesmaid dresses, the better.

Maireas · 24/10/2021 17:21

No, Felicity! Do you want it?
