the Royal Treasury, of course, looks tempting, but do not think that any member of the Royal family may choose the jewelry to your taste. The right choice always remains for the Queen, including the style and size.
Remember how Princess Diana complained that one of the tiaras (the same Lover’s Knot, which also still was a wedding gift to her) terribly crushed her head. There are slight exceptions when a certain event lady can provide a choice between the two crowns, but they are also deprived of the Queen.
7.Tiaras designed for special occasions
