About that Tiara!! All the details on Kate's Tiara

Kate Middleton dazzled in a tiara loaned to her by the Queen as she stepped out for a black tie event on Tuesday night.

Kensington Palace confirmed that the glittering headpiece had belonged to Princess Margaret, who wore it to the same event – the Diplomatic Reception – 55 years ago in 1958.

The tiara featured a diamond and pearl design with fanned motifs, floating diamond arches, two pearls at the base and a showstopping top pearl in the centre. Click link for more from Hello Magazine @ All the details on Kate's tiara - hellomagazine.com

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
