Yesterday, the world celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria. To keep the festivities rolling, today we have a look at some of the tiaras from her remarkable jewelry collection.
Queen Victoria’s Tiaras
The Norwegian Amethyst Parure Tiara
As we roll into February, it’s time to focus on the month’s gorgeous birthstone: the amethyst. Today, we’re looking at the tiara and jewels from the Norwegian Amethyst Parure.
The Strathmore Rose Tiara
One of the more unusual floral tiaras in any royal collection, the Queen Mother’s Strathmore Rose Tiara is a piece that remains in the Windsor vaults but hasn’t been seen in public in years. Part of the reason for the tiara’s disappearing act may actually be connected not only with its large flowers but also with its early twentieth-century roots.
