      As expected, the royal family have many crowns and tiaras witnessed throughout their reign. Queen Mary’s ‘Lover’s Knot Tiara’ is one of the most recognised and admired tiaras.

      Made in 1913, Queen Mary commissioned a copy of the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara to be made after she strongly admired the original. After Queen Mary’s passing, the stunning headpiece was passed to Queen Elizabeth II. Since then, it has been lent to other royal family members, including Princess Diana and the Duchess of Cambridge.

      The design itself is instantly recognised by many across the globe. Its stunning design consists of diamonds, with 19 hanging pearls set in gold and silver.

      A mix of diamonds and pearls, it can be easily matched with jewellery. It is often paired with pearl earrings and diamond necklaces, achieving a further regal aesthetic.

      The Prince Albert Brooch

      A brooch that has adorned many queens and queen consorts, the Prince Albert Brooch is a famous royal jewel. As the inspiration behind Kate Middleton’s engagement ring, this sapphire and diamond design is a royal classic.

      The brooch was a gift to Queen Victoria from Prince Albert the day before their wedding. Queen Victoria was in love with the brooch, so much so she even had it pinned to her wedding dress. When she passed, she requested it to become an heirloom to the crown, worn by future queens.

      The design features an impressive royal blue sapphire in the middle, surrounded by a halo of round white diamonds. The shape resonates the figure of a flower, creating an elegant design.
