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.
