Royal Tiara Challenge 2024

Day 12 - The Danish Ruby Parure Tiara

The Danish Ruby Parure Tiara

This tiara began its life as a series of hair combs, purchased by Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte for his wife, Desiree, to wear at Napoleon’s coronation in 1804. When Bernadotte was elected Crown Prince of Sweden, the rubies became royal jewels. The combs were made into a bandeau by Queen Alexandrine of Denmark, who had received them from her mother-in-law, Lovisa of Sweden. Queen Ingrid turned the bandeau into a grand wreath tiara, which is now worn by Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. - The court Jewellery.com

Tiaras of the future Queen Mary

I love a good list and @duchessofostergotlands requested one of the tiaras that Mary will wear as queen. As usual I had a lot to say.

Crown Jewels

Queen Caroline Amelie's Emerald Tiara

Denmark is unusual among modern monarchies in that they still have wearable jewelry in their crown jewels. There is a diamond set, a pearl and ruby set, and of course the beautiful emerald parure. This tiara cannot be taken outside of Denmark and is only worn by the queen. I really hope Mary wears it for her first official portrait as queen.

Major Tiaras: Non-Restricted

Princess Louise's Pearl Poiré Tiara

This tiara has only been worn by Queen Margrethe during her reign but previously was worn by crown princesses and princesses. It is a very important tiara but I wouldn't mind Queen Mary loaning this one occasionally to other people like Christian's future wife.

Queen Désirée's Ruby Parure Tiara

Queen Ingrid kept this tiara even after her husband passed and then left it to Crown Prince Frederik for his future wife so it was never worn by Queen Margrethe. I expect Crown Princes Mary will continue wearing this tiara for now as the parure was extensively remodeled to suit her. When Christian marries, she may decide to pass it on to his wife establishing it as the de facto crown princess tiara, keep wearing it herself, or ideally keep wearing it while also loaning it the future crown princess.

Minor Tiaras

We don't yet know how Queen Margrethe will handle passing on her jewelry. In other countries with recent abdications, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands still attends tiara events but Queen Paola of Belgium and Queen Sofia of Spain do not. If Margrethe decides to keep attending them she may hold on to some of these for a while.

Grand Duchess Louise of Baden's Palmette Tiara

This isn't my favorite tiara in the Danish vault because of the way it ends so abruptly instead of tapering off. Queen Mary's going to have to pull off some great tiara hair to cover that up.

Crown Princess Margaret's Turquoise Daisy Tiara

Queen Mary looks good in turquoise but I'm really looking forward to seeing this tiara on Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine.

Queen Ingrid's Floral Aigrette Tiara

I've loved the way Queen Margrethe played around with this tiara but I am looking forward to Queen Mary putting it back on a tiara frame like Queen Ingrid wore it.

Queen Margrethe's Naasut Tiara

Queen Margrethe was given this tiara by Greenland in 2012 and I have been waiting for day it is worn by Queen Mary. I think the delicate gold flowers are really going to look great against her dark hair.

Personal Tiaras

Wedding Tiara

Queen Margrethe gave this tiara to Crown Princess Mary as a wedding gift and Mary later had optional pearls added.

Ruby & Spinel Necklace Tiara

Mary bought herself this tiara at an auction and debuted it 2015. I think it was a very smart move because it was only 8050 EUR (probably less than some of her gowns) and it will be a great piece for her children to wear in the future.

Every country and monarch handles jewelry a little differently. Queen Margrethe gave each of her daughters-in-law a tiara but did not share any of her tiaras with them. She did share with her nieces (the daughters of her two sisters) when her sisters didn't have enough tiaras to loan them for events. I would like to see the future King Frederik X and Queen Mary change how the jewelry is dispersed.

First of all they need to stop giving away jewelry. The mainline has already lost the Queen Alexandrine's Diamond Drop Tiara to the Countess of Frederiksborg and Princess Dagmar's Diamond Floral Tiara to Princess Marie. Those are both beautiful, versatile tiaras that would have served the family well in the future. In the previous generation, Princess Benedikte was given Queen Sofia's Star & Pearl Tiara and her Floral Birthday Tiara made from other jewelry and Queen Anne Marie was given Crown Princess Margaret's Khedive Tiara and her Antique Corsage Tiara made from other jewelry. There's no reason to give away tiaras anymore to people whose descendants will have little reason to wear them.

Then to make up for not giving away any jewelry there needs to be more sharing! I don't want to see the same person wear the same tiara to every event. Queen Mary will have the Emerald Tiara exclusively and then may choose to keep the Pearl Poiré Tiara and Ruby Parure Tiara to herself but everything else should be shared among her daughters, daughters-in-law, and other members of the extended Danish Royal Family. It would make things so much more interesting.

more royal dragons, this time the ones from arc 2/3! these were really fun, and the previous designs helped me get comfortable with more detailed jewelry designs, so these are a bit more extravagant.

design notes under the cut!

RUBY: i didn't realize how young she really is when i read escaping peril the first time, i thought she was in her mid-twenties at least but apparently she's only 12/17? wild. anyways i made her ruby red with some orange accents to point to tourmaline. her tiara is meant to look like laurels, studded with rubies, and the gems on her brows and wings are citrine.

GLORY: i already had a design for her, i just touched it up a bit here. she's very pretty, but her scales are notably duller than my other rainwing designs. she has pouches she wears around her neck because she likes to be prepared and is trying to connect more to her culture. at least one of those pockets has snacks for silver. the flower on her ear is a plumeria india, one of my favorite flowers.

THORN: easily my favorite design in the set, oh my god i love how she came out. she has the same colors as my sunny design but desaturated, and almost the same markings. her jewelry is mostly gold with onyx and lapis lazuli insets. the design for the eye of onyx is inspired by @dragonsndoodles's design, which looks absolutely gorgeous and way more elegant than the graphic novel version.

SNOWFALL: i think i made her too round and soft-looking? idk i think she's cute though. i definitely had to get those pale sunset colors in there, and she has similar colors/markings to glacier. the tiara is one she found in the treasury after the racism crown™ was destroyed, and the shawl was a gift from luna as a thanks for helping her tribe. silk doesn't help much against the cold, but it sure is pretty.

WASP: SCARY BITCH. i had to mess with her colors a lot, i wanted to make her kinda greenish with red accents but it just was NOT working. i do like where i ended up though. i don't know that she would wear much jewelry, probably more armor than anything else, but i wanted to do hivewing jewelry so here we are. the neck piece was really fun to design. these are steel and gold with amber and peridot accents, and the cape is silk with gold embroidery. i have this headcanon of her having breath of evil growing out of her like a cordyceps fungus, and she uses the cape to cover the tendrils on her back.

SEQUOIA: ooo she was a challenge, i'm not great at designs with a lot of green or a lot of dark colors so she was fun. her colors are inspired by @daily-wof-designs, and the brown tones were pulled from pictures of giant sequoias. she wears braided leather straps hung with aquamarine, and the scarf might be silk? or some kind of natural fiber? i'm not sure. but it has leaf designs and is probably batik dyed (which is super cool btw look it up)

12/03 - Favorite ruby tiara

Queen Victoria's Oriental Circlet

[remembertheredheads]

Royal Tiara Challenge 2024: Day 2

Favorite Danish Tiara : The Danish Ruby Parure Tiara

This may be my favorite from the family because it's such a perfect match of tiara to wearer - this suits Mary perfectly and she's made adjustments to it to make it uniquely her own. It's a gorgeous piece in it's own right, of course, but they really shine together.

[syraxesrevenge]

appearance headcanons for younger hotd generation

---------------------

• jacaerys has an aquiline nose and purple eyes, like his mother. there is little time you will see him dressed in anything other than a plain grey or brown training coat or riding gear, and some ladies at court jest that even vermax is better dressed than him. it does have a certain charm to it, however, and who could resist those beautiful purple eyes?

• lucerys has some white streaks in his curls, and he has fluffier hair than his brothers. he often dresses rather plainly, with deep velaryon blues and silver scarves that bring out his greyish-fawn eyes. he tries to stay as well groomed as possible, but by the end of the day rhaenyra is surprised if he doesn't have sand on his head and water in his coat.

• joffrey looks the least like rhaenyra, but he's the reflection of harwin. his clothes are often simple garments, black pads for silver training armour he uses while sparring with the small folk children of dragonstone. daeron gave him a dragon pin for his seventh birthday, and he wears it everywhere.

• baela is a spectacle. she's stylish, but in the "my armor is decorated with rubies and silver" sort of way. her hair is often braided into cornrows or buns, while moondancers saddle is often garnished with emeralds and sapphires, and the mixed banners of her parent houses.

• rhaena loves luxury. she ADORES luxury. gold and silver hair rings looped in her braids, chokers with small rhinestones and big diamonds, velvet dresses with fronted myrish lace; anything fashion, rhaena has. the others usually come to her for fashion designs and rightfully so.

• helaena likes simple chic. long, fitted lavender dresses with veiled silver tiaras. bejeweled bodices and soft, pastel colours. she hates the heavy queens crown, but loves small circlets with little gems like topaz and rubies. she also adores cloaks and capes, and feels like she can hide in them when she wants to.

• daeron doesn't have white hair. no, I think he has light auburn, just like his mother! he's also the favorite, and due to being raised in oldtown, often dresses in Hightower grey. sometimes a light, cheerful mint or deep green as well. tessarion is often adorned in these colours as well, even down to the design of her saddle.

• aegon dresses like a rat bffr everyone

• aemond has green hightower eyes (or, well, eye) and takes advantage of that. black suits and high ponytails are common, as well as emerald clips and black pearl headbands. he's very fashionable, unbeknownst to most that see him at first. Vhagar is often bejeweled as well; he can't have her looking ugly in front of the most beautiful dragon in the realm.

Please go on a rant about the crown, I'd love to hear it

ok here goes!!!

so part of my job is to design custom engagement rings for people and i get to work with diamonds and gemstones on a daily basis, hence the desire to redesign the g1 crown to better fit with prime starscream's design.

generally speaking i am not a fan of the g1 crown now that i know what i'm doing when it comes to jewelry like what is going on???

assuming that is a coffin cut? baguette accents on either side around the rim and barrels(?) for the tips of each point?

for the stones i decided to go with garnet as opposed to rubies and red diamonds simply because garnets are my favorite gemstone. i prefer the rich, dark shades and thought the deeper red would work well with the lighting i had already started working on when i began work on coloring the gemstone facets.

the center stone had to be a marquise cut because i wanted something that would mimic his red crest (due to the fact that it would be mostly covered) and to match the baguette accent stones on either side of the g1 crown i chose step cut squares in a channel setting. the three points at the tops of the crown are accented with trillions.

(yes i did painstakingly draw every single visible facet by hand because i didn't realize i could just use the radial symmetry tool to get the same result smh)

coloring gold is an ongoing learning experience but i am pretty happy with how it turned out on this piece (though looking back on it i would have gone darker with the shading in some areas). each of the stones has filed prongs (6 on the marquise for the appropriate amount of security) to match starscream's sharp points. the forks and negative spaces are to keep the design more tiara-like rather than one solid gold dome, accentuating the shapes of his helm rather than hiding them. i pull a lot of inspiration from design elements i see in rings i handle every day and thought this piece would be a good way to play around with that.

thank you so much for asking!!! hope you enjoy my info dump!!!

The Crown Jewel Edition: Queen Consort Clarisse

Before she was taken from the world in a horrific plane accident Queen Clarisse wore some of the most show stopping pieces within the Royal Collection.

The Pearl Wedding Tiara (Above)

This is the tiara that was traditionally worn by brides coming into the Royal Family before Queen Consort Ana introduced the Harold Tiara. The piece boasts hundreds of pearls which used to be embedded within Queen Morrigan's medieval crown.

The Fontaine Foliage Tiara

A tiara gifted to Queen Clarisse upon her marriage to then-Crown Prince Richter from her family, the Fontaines. Outfitted with priceless Celestri diamonds, it is one of the most expensive pieces within the Quinn Family's collection.

The tiara has not been worn in public since Her Majesty's death, though it remains one of the pieces available for use by the current Queen Regina.

The Cursed Dumas Aquamarines

These earrings are one of Her majesty's favorite pairs. She bought them on auction for approximately 500,000 simoleons from luxury auction house Kristi's.

The aquamarines and diamonds were originally owned by a Bordeauxian noblewoman from the 1780s and are thought to be cursed. The last owners before Queen Clarisse had acquired them died in a tragic fire which caused them to go up for auction in the first place. Three more of the previous owners have all passed from tragic accidents or under mysterious circumstances.

Many believe the original owner of the jewels, Lady Celine Dumas, placed a curse upon whoever would come into ownership of them as her jealous daughter-in-law murdered her in order to inherit her vast riches through her only son. Everyone who came into ownership of the jewels since has met an early demise.

Unfortunately, Queen Clarisse had also fallen to the curse only a year after purchasing the earrings. The last time Her Majesty was seen wearing them in public was at the wedding of her son, then-Crown Prince Vincent, a month and a half before the plane crash that took her and her husband's lives.

The Simtier Diamond Choker

This beautiful piece was a wedding anniversary gift from her husband, King Richter. She often wore the choker during her many trips to the opera, ballet, and broadway shows.

Queen Katrina's Diamond and Ruby Ribbon Set

This is a historical set traditionally worn by Queens of Lunaria since the 1860s. It was gifted to Queen Katrina during her tenth year of reigning alongside her husband, the Mad King, Edward IV.

Edward chose rubies to be the stand-out jewels in the necklace and earring set due to his disturbing fascination with the color of blood. Katrina wore them often in order to avoid her husbands frequent and irrational tantrums. Thankfully, these jewels don't seem to carry any curses.

Queen Clarisse's Loop Tiara

A lightweight tiara designed by Her Majesty for functions of State, the jewels in the center of the diamond loops can be switched between sapphires or pearls. Clarisse entrusted the creation of her design to famed Celestri jeweler, Notte.

Have you got a certain event or photo of your story that you absolutely love or think about a lot?

Omfg- YES !!!! Excuse me while I speak way too much:

This shot from Act One, Scene One was really the beginning of my cinematic style. I still love it and have always wanted to make the look canonical in some event or engagement somewhere, but the whole point was it being, "so not Vivi."

These two shots, from Viviana I's Ruby Jubilee was supposed to note the comparison of Vivi's audience (close family, film crew, isolated) to Eloise's (most members of the extended Royal Family, heavy foreign royal presence, film crew AND press). I'm not sure if the message came across for anyone else, but I'm very fond of them.

Also from Viviana I's Ruby Jubilee was this shot of Arnaut @nexility-sims and Vivi happily taking a selfie- which is just SO fecking funny to me, because we've established that there is deep tension between the sisters (aka Vivi and HIS WIFE), to the point wherein Lorri would not attend the private event in Vivi's honor. My headcanon is that Vivi was mildly uncomfortable with his hand on her shoulder and Arnaut saw (and took) the opportunity to make a goof.

During @officalroyalsofpierreland 's state visit to the Ionian Union I got to showcase a lot of the lore I had builtup, but hadn't shared at that point: Tiara and Uniform Lore were the main ideas I wanted to present and I got to do that in a Royal Entrance. It may not be a big deal to Literally Anyone Else, but I always find protocol during state events so fascinating. Here's an article on state events involving royalty if anyone is interested.

Act Two changed SO much behind the scenes, but I was so incredibly dedicated to keeping the concert scene. The shots were beautiful and showcased me in the beginning stages of learning to edit my screenies. It was also incredibly important for Raheem's arc; they were engaged quickly, and this scene confirmed in his mind that he found someone who loves him for who he is, this was confirmation that he could be just a ken.

Adrienne visiting a royal watcher's blog and then wanting to meet her in person is forever funny to me. I'm also just- really proud of the page she's on still.

Viola and Raheem's wedding was very hard for me to shoot, but it paid tf off !!!! I'm still in love with absolutely every detail. The aesthetics were aesthetic-ing.

Raheem going with Elle to say goodbye to their Grandma will always be my favorite scene of Act Three. It was very personal for me. And- also, them crying and being vunerable after this shot showed personal growth for birth parties beyond belief.

Last, but certainly not least, this is my favorite shot from last post. I shot it forever ago at this point and I just- I loved and still love it for Reasons. @empiredesimparte

Coronation Jewels

Even though there were no tiaras for the coronation of King Charles III, there were still plenty of stunning jewels on display. Here are my favorite jewelry looks.

Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom

Queen Camilla wore an altered version of Queen Mary's Crown with Queen Victoria's Coronation Necklace. I can't quite tell which earrings she's wearing but they are not Queen Victoria's Coronation Earrings. Overall she didn't wear as much jewelry as I was hoping for but she looked wonderful so it was probably the right choice.

Queen Suthida of Thailand

Queen Suthida wore Queen Sirikit's Sapphire Suite that contains beautiful and absolutely massive sapphires. She also wore the Nine Gems Belt which is meant to bring good luck to the wearer.

Queen 'Masenate of Lesotho

I wish we had a better look at Queen 'Masenate's necklace with mysterious blue gemstones. It's stunning and seems familiar but I can't place it.

Queen Sibonelo LaMbikiza of Eswatini

I also want a better look at Queen Sibonelo's big diamond necklace. It looks like there are a row of rubies along the outer edge. Update: I found a better picture!

Queen Azizah of Malaysia

Queen Azizah looked lovely with her diamond fringe necklace and multiple brooches.

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands

Queen Máxima took the no tiaras dress code personally and wore the biggest diamonds she could. Her earrings are made from the large diamonds of the Stuart Tiara and she wore another big diamond on her belt from a stomacher that belonged to Queen Emma.

Princess Eugenie of York

Princess Eugenie debuted the Albemarle High Jewellery Diamond Collar Necklace and Earrings by Garrard. I would not be surprised if they were a loan because together they cost $162,000.

Queen Letizia of Spain

Queen Letizia also wore big diamonds with the Queen Ena's Diamond Earrings from the Joyas de Pasar.

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark

Crown Princess Mary debuted slightly simplified forms of the turquoise jewels given to her by Queen Margrethe last year for her 50th birthday. The jewels are Danish royal heirlooms and even if they weren't already adaptable I'm sure they can still be worn in their previous forms and knowing Mary maybe even a few more.

What were your favorite jewels worn at the coronation?

Queen Diana and Prince Consort Gerhard Host Annual Mayor’s Ball at Willington Palace

Her Majesty The Queen wowed her guest as this year’s Mayor’s Ball. She alongside husband, Prince Consort Gerhard, hosted the event in the Grand Ballroom of the Palace where it’s been hosted since its inception under former King Spencer. This year’s theme was progress.

The ball brings together Mayors from across SimDonia in the Royal Palace. The event is also frequented by SimDonia Parliament and members of the nobility, as well. The purpose of the event is to unite the many people who work everyday to make SimDonia a great place for all to live.

Her Majesty wore a bright read ball gown with intricate floral detail along with her favorite jewel, the SimDonian Ruby Tiara. The State to cohost this year’s ball was Parkshore, so The Queen’s gown was designed by a Parkshorian designer. At the ball, you could also listen to the Parkshore Choir and eat delicious Parkshore cuisine. Many noted how attendence to a Parkshore hosted ball grew significantly and speculate that is due to Lady Naia’s new leadership. 

They also noted Her Majesty enjoying the choir with Natasha Bedlam, the new Executive Director of the National Association of Pendites. A great show of unity by The Queen for inviting a representative of the organization after the incidents with the former Executive Director who turned out to be a fraud and descendents of the Goths looking for revenge.

The Queen confidently gave a speech, danced the night away, and spoke with government officials including her friends Lord Jonathan and Grand Countess Arabella. Since being Maid of Honor at each other’s weddings, the couple have gone on to have 3 children! We loved to see this little reunion among friends.

In attendence and seen talking with Lady Naia of Parkshore were the Grand Duke and Duchess of Parkshore accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Parkshore. The two couples looked dazzling and in good spirits the entire night.

All in all, this year’s Mayor’s Ball was a success! We can’t wait for next year which is set to be hosted by Umbrage!

Tiara Alert!

- The Royal Collections

The werewolf princess in a vampire's land has seemingly settled in well with her new family. This was her first event as Crown Princess and we can say she knocked it out of the park! Those who've interacted with those supernatural beings always agree that they have a flair for the dramatic. We can say we're happy to agree with them. The princess brought a dramatic look befitting the land she represents. Crown Princess Ashina could be seen wearing the Dragomir Tiara, for those who know, the Kingdom of Forgotten Hallow run's a little differently. There are four founding families, the throne can be challenged if there is enough support. While the reigning family at the time has access to the royal vaults, they do tend to share jewels from individual lines. Ashina had been given a tiara from the Dragomir family. This was the first tiara to be acquired by the family. In fact, one of the few, they're not known for collecting showy riches like this. It's a more unstated in nature. For this event, Crown Princess Ashina chose the ruby settings but it this tiara does come in other settings, hopefully, we'll get to see it soon!

Crown Princess Ashina of Mt. Mt. Komorebi Kingdom, has chosen to show off the Mt. Valley tiara once again. The Mt. Valley tiara is a favorite of the Crown Princess. She was first seen in the tiara on her 18th birthday, since then Ashina has tended to opt for this tiara. According to our records, the Mt. Valley tiara is one of the oldest in the collection. Brought by Queen XXXX shortly before she entered the royal family. Adorned by pearls, locally sourced from the Kingdom. The tiara depicts the vast valleys in the Kingdom. Queen XXXX is also credited with designing the tiara.

Next, we have The Duchess of Nuvara. Also known as Crown Princess Adira of Elthonia. The dazzling Duchess, attended her first event in Oasis Springs and we hope to see more of her! Adira is wearing older piece owned by the Royal family. The tiara was brought by Adira's great-great-grandmother Queen Mary I for her daughter, future Queen Beatrice I of Elthonia. Normally, it's worn by Crown Princesses in the royal family, though reserved for the monarch's heirs but not their female spouses. In Elthonia it's known as "The Crown Princess Tiara" or "Mary's Emerald Dream". And here at royal collect, we've been happy to see such a gem brought out from the vaults.

The Duchess of Albany graced us with with the Heaven's Sword tiara. Finally, we see Miliana, The Duchess of Albany in an oversea's event. The Duchess wore an understated outfit that let her tiara shine. An unexpected wear but this is an amazing moment. The Heaven's Sword tiara is normally located in the tower of Windenburg. The tiara was commissioned by Grand Duchess Edith, the 1st Duchess of Albany. The the second wife of King Oslen the 1st. A year after her death in 1733, the Duchess had the tiara made to honor the princess as she wanted to defend her country. It's been over a decade since this tiara has been worn and is normally up for public viewing. It must be a true honor for The Duchess of Albany to wear this tiara!

Crown Princess Louve went with a bold but pointed choice. We at royal collect have some hot official news. If you haven't heard already, Crown Princess Louve worn the crown princess Ashina tiara. It was gifted to Ashina by her grandfather when she turned eighteen. Many wondered what would happen when the Crown Princess stepped back and now we know that it's still been held by the royal family. News has been sent out that this tiara has been renamed the Amethyst Circle tiara. It looks lovely on Crown Princess Louve to bring in a new era!

Crown Princess Noelle graced us with a lovely tiara. One not chosen often by members of the royal family so we're glad to see this one pulled out of the vault! This tiara also has a nice little piece of history attached to it. Princess Alice Sapphire Tiara - While Princess Mary understood her nephew’s desire for a new Kingdom and changes, she was loyal to Windenburg. Privately she knew of his plans to leave the Kingdom and held onto that secret. Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to gift or leave him anything once he left, a year before that she passed down her sapphire tiara to him. When she passed, it left with him to the Kingdom of San Sequoia. That being said, the tiara was loaned to the 6th Duchess of Tyne, Pearl on her wedding day to Prince Caven and to his daughter the 3rd Duchess of Fife, Olivia, the daughter of Prince Caven. As well as the 4th Duchess of Fife, Hannah, the wife of the 4th Duke of Fife, Kaeton, the son of Olivia. In somewhat of a tradition by at that point. It was also loaned to the 5th Duke of Fife, Kaeton the second’s wife Maya for her wedding day as well as his second wife, Countess of Lennox Arlene.

A sign of approval and acceptance? Crown Princess Marie has elected to wear the Stone Maze Tiara. Queen Emma, known for her unique taste had this tiara made for her daughter-in-law that she loved dearly. Sadly, her daughter-in-law passed sometime after the tiara, only being able to wear it once. Ownership went back to her after her daughter-in-law's passing and has since remained property of the crown. It's said that whoever has worn that tiara has a the seal of approval. When not worn, it can sometimes been seen in the Royal Family Section of the Tartosan National Museum.

Finally, the bell of the ball...well, the host at least! We have Queen Najwa, for this event the Queen opted out of wearing a traditional crown. Instead, she opted for a snake head-piece that she had personally made. It's a not a piece that's worn often but it was made during the Queen's teen-years and she debuted it at a fashion gala. It sparked a trend in orders as everyone tried to get a re-mark of this iconic headpiece.

And that is the royal wrap-up! Remember to always check us out after big-events as we have the latest news about these royal jewels!

Favorite Ruby Tiara: Queen Emma's Ruby Parure Tiara

Full disclosure, this is probably my second favorite ruby tiara after Mary's Ruby Parure but I'm trying not to repeat! The elements between the uprights that look like swags of diamonds here are really unique.
