Kate Middleton Tiaras: Every Dazzling Royal Moment。Tradition dictates that tiaras should only be worn by brides on their wedding day or by married women. This is because of a tiara\'s roots in classical antiquity - it was seen as the emblem of the loss of innocence to the crowning of love. This is a beautiful reproduction of the bridal tiara worn by the Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. It is in pristine condition. I bought this from a seller on Etsy a couple years ago while planning my wedding. It is absolutely stunning with all the sparkles but it just didn’t work with my hairstyle. It’s never been worn. Taken out of packaging for initial inspection then replaced. It comes with original box and packaging. I wish that I could capture the sparkle and brilliance of this gorgeous headpiece. I was looking for Classic/Elegant as my bridal theme. Royal tiaras are the epitome of Classic Elegance. This tiara is a reproduction of the famous Cartier Halo tiara made for the Queen Mother as a gift from her husband King George VI. Queen Elizabeth ll received it as a gift from her Mother on her 18th birthday but never wore it. Princess Anne was known to wear this tiara before it was worn by Kate Middleton for her marriage to Prince William in 2011. The most notable feature of this beautiful tiara is the sparkle that emanates from each carefully placed crystal. You will definitely be the center of attention with this eye-catching beauty. It is not a light piece. There is a little weight to it but not enough to cause discomfort.
