The royal wedding jewelry shining from Kate Middleton (now Her Royal Highness Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) was an understated display of elegance, grace and delicate diamonds.
The Tiara:
The subject of MUCH speculation, Kate ‘borrowed’ the Halo Tiara, made by Cartier in 1936. The Queen’s father, then the Duke of York, bought the bauble for the Queen Mother, then the Duchess of York, who then gave it to her daughter – then Princess Elizabeth – on her 18th birthday.
Set in platinum, the priceless jewel is made from old and baguette-cut diamonds, with the upper part forming a range of lotus flowers and the lower ‘zig-zag’ part forming a removable piece that can be used as a bandeau.
No word yet on whether or not Catherine gets to keep it for her own collection – or if it’s just a loaner. Stay tuned!
