The Argyll Diamond Daisies: A group of diamond brooches in daisy and leaf shapes, sometimes grouped together for wear as a tiara-like ornament. Originally belonged to Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll (who wore them as brooches at her wedding in 1871). Later bequeathed by her to Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, and then passed to Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. Worn as a tiara-like ornament by Princess Michael of Kent.
The Cambridge Sapphire Button Tiara: A simple tiara made of a quintet of button-style sapphire and diamond festoon and cluster elements set atop a velvet-wrapped wire frame. Made using pieces from the long necklace from the Cambridge Sapphire Parure (which was made in the nineteenth century for Princess Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge and passed down to Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz; Queen Mary; Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent; and finally the present Duke and Duchess of Kent, who sold much of the set in the 1990s). Worn by the present Duchess of Kent.
