The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒪𝓌𝓃𝑒𝓇𝓈: 

♕ Her Majesty Queen Mary (1892 - 1947): Wedding Gift from Lady Eva Greville

♕ Queen Elizabeth II (1947 - Present): Wedding Gift from Her Majesty Queen Mary

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇: 

Designed in 1893 by The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara Committee led by Lady Eva Greville

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃: 

The Tiara features Festoon & Fleur-De-Lis designs with Diamonds set in Silver and Gold. The Original Design was topped with 14 pearls. Inside the custom mahogany box provided by the jeweler, a second frame was also supplied, which allowed the tiara to be worn as a coronet. Even better, it could also be taken off a frame entirely and worn as a necklace. In 1912, Mary had the Tiara re-designed. She had the pearls removed from the top of the tiara, replacing them with 13 diamond brilliants. The pearls were incorporated into her new Lover's Knot Tiara. The base of the tiara was also removed around this time so that it could be worn separately as a bandeau. In 1960, the Bandeau of the Tiara was placed back onto the tiara, which gave it more height.

♕ Lady Eva’s Greville’s committee (who raised the money for the tiara), had so much money left over after the tiara was created so the funds were used to support the widows & families of the HMS Victoria ship collision in 1893. 

♕ Queen Mary did not wear the tiara on her wedding day. 

♕ Queen Elizabeth calls the Tiara “Granny’s Tiara.” The Tiara was a wedding gift from her grandmother Queen Mary in 1947.

The Burmese Ruby Tiara

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒪𝓌𝓃𝑒𝓇𝓈/𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝑒𝓇𝓈:

♕ Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1973): Commissioned the Tiara from The House of Garrard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, commissioned the Tiara from The House of Garrard in 1973.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, commissioned the Tiara from The House of Garrard in 1973. She used gems that she already had on hand which included: 96 Rubies which were a Wedding Gift from the people of Burma & Diamonds that were on The Nizam of Hyderabad Tiara (another wedding gift for Queen Elizabeth). The rubies are set in gold and the diamonds in silver & the tiara is a wreath of roses separated by rays of diamonds. Each rose is connected by a line of rubies & has a ruby center with diamonds for petals. With the Crown rubies, which were still in the possession of the Queen Mother, it seems logical that the commission by Queen Elizabeth, was aimed to fill a ruby tiara hole in Her Majesty's collection. She needed something of her own to go along with the ruby jewelry she had already either inherited or collected. She had inherited the Crown rubies since the Queen Mother's death in 2002.

𝐹𝓊𝓃 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉𝓈:

♕ Burmese Beliefs About Rubies: Rubies are meant to protect their owner from evil and illness.

♕ The Tiara is controversial due to the creation of the Tiara being made out of dismantled Tiara’s, gems, & other Royal Jewelry.

♕ During the 2019 U.S.A State Visit, people believed that the Queen was “shading” President Donald Trump by wearing The Burmese Ruby Tiara. In Burmese beliefs Rubies are meant to protect their owner from evil and illness.
