Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Tiaras are special because they’re beautiful works of art, but some of them are doubly interesting because of their royal pasts. Every now and then, one of today’s princesses wears a tiara that came from a royal house of the past.

Get ready, magpies: we’ve got a heck of a tiara story for your Saturday enjoyment! The Vladimir Tiara survived revolution and upheaval to become one of the most iconic diadems in the world.
