~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:
♕ Original: The Tiara first made an appearance in 1818, by Her Royal Highness Augusta The Dowager Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The Tiara was given to her as a wedding gift from her family.
♕ The New Tiara: Designed in 1913 by Her Majesty Queen Mary but was created by The House of Garrard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:
The Tiara features a Diamond and Pearl tiara with Lover's Knot Motifs. The lover’s knot motif was very popular in the nineteenth century; the knots are the pretzel-like elements at the top of the tiara - the part from which the pendant pearls are suspended. Originally Mary’s Tiara was topped with a row of upright pearls, which made the tiara taller & grander than the version we currently see on the current Duchess of Cambridge. The pearls are the same pearls that once sat on The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara, but they could removed off the Lover’s Knot. When Queen Mary died, the upright pearls were removed off the tiara. Lovers Knot bows were part of the design of the tiara, which was repeated along the entire length of the tiara, and from which originated two drop-shaped pearls, one hanging down and the other rising up like a spike.

♕ Diana was not allowed to keep the Tiara after her divorce from Charles. She did get to keep all of her other jewelry gifts though.
♕ Before the Original Lover’s Knot Tiara was bought at an auction in 1981, no one knew what happened to the tiara after Her Royal Highness Princess Militza of Montenegro died. It is believed she sold it to a jewelry company right before she died.

The Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒪𝓌𝓃𝑒𝓇𝓈/𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝑒𝓇𝓈:
♕ Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia (1874 - 1920): Created for the Grand Duchess by the Bolin, the Russian imperial court jeweler for her wedding to Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia.
♕ Her Imperial and Royal Highness Princess Nicholas of Greece and Denmark, Grand Duchess Elena of Russia (1920 - 1921): The Princess inherited the Tiara from her mother Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia, after her death.
♕ Her Majesty Queen Mary (1921 - 1953): The Queen purchased the Tiara from Her Imperial and Royal Highness Princess Nicholas of Greece and Denmark, Grand Duchess Elena of Russia.
♕ Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1953 - 2014): The Queen inherited the Tiara from her grandmother Her Majesty Queen Mary, after her death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:
Created for the Grand Duchess by the Bolin, the Russian imperial court jeweler in 1874 for her wedding to Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:
The Tiara is an elaborate diamond and pearl tiara. The piece is delightfully flexible & the pearls can be removed, as well as part of the diamond-encrusted structure, allowing it to be worn in a more closed form. The tiara is generally described as "widowed" when worn without its pendant stones. Maria wore the tiara without its pendants as a smaller closed coronet. In 1920, the Vladimir Tiara was damaged during its journey from Russia to England, as some of the pearls and diamonds were missing from the piece. In 1921, Her Majesty Queen Mary purchased the tiara from Her Imperial and Royal Highness Princess Nicholas of Greece and Denmark, Grand Duchess Elena of Russia to have the tiara fixed. 3 years later in 1924, Queen Mary had the tiara re-worked again, so that the Vladimir Tiara adapted so it could be worn in a third setting, with a series of fifteen cabochon drops from the Cambridge emerald collection. From then on, the emerald version of the tiara was often worn with pieces from the Delhi Durbar Suite (Including the Delhi Durbur Parure Tiara). In 1988, The House of Garrard renovated the hundred-year-old tiara once more, building it a completely new frame. In 2002, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II wore the tiara "widowed" -- meaning the tiara had neither its pearl or emerald drops.

𝐹𝓊𝓃 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉𝓈:
♕ When Maria fled the palatial Vladimir Palace in Saint Petersburg for a villa in Kislovodsk, her jewels, including the tiara, remained in a hidden safe in her bedroom at the palace. That summer, Maria Pavlovna's son, Grand Duke Boris (pictured above), and a friend, Bertie Stopford, hatched a dangerous plan to retrieve her jewels. He and Boris disguised themselves as workmen, and with the help of a palace caretaker, they snuck into the Vladimir Palace and smuggled out the contents of Miechen's secret safe. The Vladimir Tiara and her other jewels were placed in a pair of Gladstone bags, and Stopford managed to sneak them out of Russia. He took the jewels to London, where they were placed in a safety deposit box.
♕ In 1921, Her Imperial and Royal Highness Princess Nicholas of Greece and Denmark, Grand Duchess Elena of Russia decided to sell some of her mother's jewels.
♕ What a Group of Women! A 2 Grand Duchesses & 2 Queens have worn this tiara! The power that tiara holds!
♕ This is one of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite tiara’s due to the amount of times she has worn during incredibly important royal events.

The Tiara is Bandeau shaped flexible band of eleven sections, featuring interlaced ovals and pavé diamonds along with large and small brilliant diamonds. The Center Stone of the tiara is a Brooch, which features ten diamonds. & The Brooch is still detachable today. The Tiara started out as a Brooch in 1893, but the tiara wasn’t created until 1932 (4 years before Queen Mary’s Death) to accommodate the Brooch. The Tiara is made out of diamonds & platinum. Like the Cartier Halo Tiara, Queen Mary’s Diamond Bandeau Tiara is of Art Deco Style.

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.
