A mid the large and decadent Crown Jewels and thousands of privately owned pieces, the Lover’s Knot tiara is perhaps one of the British royal family’s most coveted pieces.
Very rarely has a single piece of jewellery been worn by so many different members of the royal family, with most pieces becoming strongly associated with an individual royal wearer.
Mostly recently, the tiara has become one of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge’s favourite adornments, with the mother-of-three frequently opting for the historical headpiece for royal events, including Buckingham Palace’s diplomatic receptions.
Interestingly, the tiara Kate wears today is said to have been recreated by Queen Mary in 1914 by the House of Garrard jewellers from some of her very own pearls and diamonds.
According to reports, Mary modelled the tiara after her grandmother Princess Augusta of Hesse’s headpiece, the original Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara, which had a similar construction.
The original headpiece is currently thought to be held in an unknown private collection and has not been seen publicly since. Upon Mary’s death in 1953, the tiara was inherited by Queen Elizabeth II, then Princess Elizabeth.
