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.

♕ 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.
