One of the Queen’s most famous tiaras can be worn in multiple settings: with pearls, with emeralds, or with no drops at all. Today, we’ve got a look at the magnificent Vladimir Tiara in its “widowed” setting.

The Queen’s jewelry box is filled with diamonds, and some of those jewels have become HM’s favorite, most-worn pieces. Among these are the tiara and necklace that she chose for this occasion, an important artistic anniversary in 1964.

In November 1952, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom arrived at the London Palladium with the Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Margaret for the first Royal Variety Performance of her reign. For the occasion, she chose a suite of jewels that she chose personally from Cartier.
