My Royal Wedding Jewels






The Cartier Halo Scroll Tiar 1936

 

I loved the Royal Wedding.  I sat glued to my tv wearing a tiara from start to finish.  Here are some of my favourite moments and details in the next few blogs.  I know it was just a little over a fortnight ago but I am still basking in Royal Wedding fever.

Let's start with the jewels.  You cannot have a Royal Wedding without a tiara can you?  This one was mouth wateringly beautiful.


This was Kate's something borrowed.  From the Queen no less.  It was created by the house of Cartier in 1936.

The then Duke of York (who later became King George V1) commissioned it for the Duchess of York (the late Queen Mother).  The tiara was later given to Princess Elizabeth (our Queen) on her 18th birthday.

 How groovy does Anne look?

 The gorgeous Duchess of Cambridge!  I just love the jewels she wore! Stunning!  Stunning!  Stunning!  Her mum & dad had earrings custom made by Robinson Pelham to match the dazzling tiara.  Aren't they sensational?  What a lovely present.

The acorns were inspired by the recently created Middleton Coat of Arms.

The three acorn motifs represent each one of Carole and Michael Middleton's children - Kate, Pippa and James.  I love the way the children have been included in this way..........

More Royalty to come...........stay tuned...............
