The last Swedish royal wedding of a generation was held in Stockholm on Saturday, as Prince Carl Philip, son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, married Sofia Hellqvist.

There are tiaras in the British royal collection, and crowns, and then there’s today’s jewel, which is sort of a hybrid of both. Let’s take a closer look at the grand Diamond Diadem that originally belonged to King George IV.

When the eldest daughter of one of the richest men in Britain gets married, not just any tiara purchased from the local jeweler will do. Indeed, when Lady Tamara Grosvenor, daughter of the Duke of Westminster, married Edward van Cutsem in 2004—at a wedding that was so prominent even Queen Elizabeth II numbered among the guests—she settled for nothing less than a delicate wreath tiara crafted by Fabergé.
