The Wedding Tiara

Tiaras, by some are thought to originate from the laurel wreaths worn by the ancient Greeks and Romans.  The delicate leaves have been seen positioned in shapes of ovals, circles, or simply in a design connecting one leaf to another.  The style combines Grecian influences and a timeless style.  Laurel leaves continue through the years to be extremely elegant, featured on royalty and celebrities alike.  On her 21st birthday, Princess Margaret received from her mother, Queen Elizabeth, the Persian “Flames of Love” of Persian turquoises set in diamonds that the Queen herself had received as a wedding gift in 1923 from her father-in-law, King George V.  The exquisite tiara incorporates lamps, laurel leaves, and lovers’ knots.  It is one of the most lovely pieces of workmanship in the royal crown jewels. In Munn’s book, “Tiaras: A History of Splendor”, the tiara alone gets four pages of photographs alone.   Catherine Zeta Jones also wore a tiara with marquise-cut stones giving the impression of laurel leaves in a sophisticated design.   I ran across a tiara  much to the likes of Catherine Zeta Jones and Princess Margaret's tiaras and I fell in love instantly because the style doesn't surface that often, if never.  I saved the picture of tiara in hopes I would run into it again, and it showed up on Amazon as I was looking around today.  Below you will see the many tiaras that are considered "priceless", and if you compare them to this tiara, you will see, it has tremendous style.  The best thing is, you can buy it for under $90 dollars.  (Read More.....)
