Hi, thanks for watching our video about!
In 1913, Queen Mary decided to add a new tiara to her already-extensive collection of diadems. For inspiration, she turned to a tiara she’d long admired: the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara, worn for years by her aunt, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Since Mary wasn’t able to inherit or buy the original tiara, she went for the next best thing: she commissioned Garrard to make a copy of it.
The new lover’s knot tiara was created in 1913. Originally it was topped with a row of upright pearls, making it even taller and grander than the present version; these are the same pearls that once sat atop the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The upright pearls were later removed from the tiara, and now a row of diamond brilliants sit along the top of the piece. Queen Elizabeth inherited the Tiara in 1953 and then loaned it to Princess Diana in 1981 upon her wedding.
When Charles and Diana divorced in 1996, the tiara was returned to the royal vault. Since 2015, the tiara has become the most worn sparkler by the Princess of Wales.
Thanks for watching!
