Queen Elizabeth II |
Provenance:
- Are there any pictures of the piece of jewellery given to Queen Elizabeth II in 1968 from the governor of Sao Paulo that was later incorporated into this tiara?

I have a question. In the closeup photo of the tiara, there seem to be two straight bars running through the middle of it. Are they actually part of the tiara, or are they part of the stand that's holding the tiara up?
ReplyDeleteI think the two tiaras were prettier before they were combined to create this one. I dearly love aquamarines, but this tiara is just too huge and almost garish.
ReplyDeleteCountess of Wessex wore the tiara to the Luxembourg wedding.
ReplyDeleteShe wore the original "Governor of Sao Paulo" tiara, which clearly was not broken up to adapt the Brazilian Aquamarine Tiara. For years it was reported that the "Governor of Sao Paulo" did not exist in original form any longer. Thank goodness that is not true. It is a lovely tiara in its own right.
