About buying a tiara

[kenny]

No, not for me.

I'm sure they make "costume" tiaras, as in no genuine mined gems or precious metals.

But, if you have zllions to spend, who sells the good stuff?
Are they sitting in a vault in all types and sizes, or all made to order?
Will the jeweler in London who makes them for royalty (royal warrant) make one for any inferior human with money?

auction houses are a good start, the big ones

saddly today's world has less ocaasions for tiara wearing, although the Euro royals seem to do more tiara wearing than the our lot
back in Queen Mary's day tiaras were worn at dinner every night and the Queen mum wore them out to the theatre
i am sure cartier or whoever could wip up a tiara but i think with two months to go its leaving it a bit late

But its not like this corrination has just been sprung on us
The late much missed HM Queen Elizabeth ii was quite old, it was going to be Charlie's time sooner rather than latter, i mean it still came as a shock but plans have always been made behind the scenes

my question is will there be corrination balls in grand houses so that aractocratic tiaras can come out to play ? hopefully they havnt all been sold off along with the big house

i have no idea if this tiara still exsists but Cartier made it for the last corrination but there is no record of anyone ever wearing it but i love art deco and bandaus

Tiaras come up for sale at auctions from time to time, and the high end jewellers in London that specialise in antiques have them.

New tiaras can be found at the grandee jewellers such as Chaumet and Cartier.

If money is no object, I would have one made for me at the drop of a hat.

The one I like is the one that belongs to Princess Alexandra, a floral design with the centre of the flowers that are interchangeable, very versatile.

I would like white and black pearls, pink red stones such as Ruby/Rubellite Tourmaline, green stones such as Tourmaline, ocean blue stones such as Aquamarine, and diamonds.

That should do it.

Is this the one @dk168? I googled but don't know if I came up with the right one. This one sure is pretty though!
