The
Marchioness of Anglesey in British Vogue in 1937. In the above seen picture the Marchioness is wearing a diamond tiara attached to
a fabric band, very fashionable
in that time. The late Victorian design of the tiara matches diamond-set scrolls, clusters and pear-shaped motifs with a
row of European and old mine cut diamonds amounting to 100 carats.
The row of
sparklers can be detached and worn as a rivière necklace.
The
Tiara was worn by the Marchionesses at the 1924 State Opening of
Parliament, and the 1937 and 1953 Coronations.
