I do think it would make a nice wedding tiara for Royal brides. It has presence but is not huge without being smell either.
What a surprise! How old are the last photos of it? 80 years? When was the last time it was worn? Sometimes it was questionable whether the piece even still existed.
The Queen and Princess of Wales both wore flowers for the Korean visitors. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it is a meaning that the royal ladies are having another look in the vault, as the Duchess of Gloucester brings out the Art Deco tiara again. The royal splendour is obviously being polished up. This gives us hope that we will also get to see other things at some point. I'm hoping for some long chains.
If I've counted correctly, this is the fourth tiara that DOW has worn: Cartier Tiara, Lovers Knot, Papyrus and now Strathmore Rose. I would love the Sunray Sapphire Tiara and the Turquoise Tiara worn by Princess Margaret, should it have gone back into the royal vault.
Really looks amazing! And Catherine also!
Delighted and surprised to see the Princess of Wales taking the Strathmore Rose tiara out of the vaults tonight!
