Our newest accessory vendor, Richard Designs, is located in the UK and gave us some interesting information on the pieces.
The Royal Tiara
The tiara was, as expected, from the royal collection. Catherine's 'Something Borrowed' was on loan from the Queen's private collection, made by Cartier in 1936, and a present for the late Queen Mother. Traditional yet discreet, the tiara sat high enough to lift the soft draped veil from her face.
As a wedding present from her parents for her 'something new' these diamond set drops were made to compliment the Cartier tiara that she wore on that day. Delicate and perfectly portioned they were designed to echo the elements within the Middleton Family newly appointed Coat of Arms. These loverly jewels were made up of a stylised oak leaf with a pear shaped-diamond set drop and suspended pave set acorn at the center.
