Sunderland’s Royal Jewel Vault (5/∞) ♛

↬ Glencairn Lover's Knot Tiara

In terms of jewelry, Sunderland has a very rich history that dates back centuries. The Glencairn lover's knot tiara is one of the oldest in the royal vault and has been passed down, from parent to child, since the days of King George. It is uncertain when this tiara was made. Featuring thirty-eight pear-shaped pearl pendants and lover's knot motifs, the design has proven popular. The Sunderland lover's knot is joined by the Cambridge and Bavarian lover's knot tiaras. All three tiaras were created in the 1800s, and all three are often mistaken for the much younger British version that was commissioned a century later. Despite their similarities, each of these tiaras have a distinct history and providence. In 1837, the Sunderland variant was gifted to Lady Imogen Longford as she prepared to marry the Duke of Glencairn, the second brother of King Louis III. The tiara was among other priceless gifts, for Imogen wasn't just marrying some prince, but a likely future king. The Duke's two older brothers had no surviving legitimate issue, and Sunderland was in the midst of a fierce succession crisis that pitted brother against brother. Ultimately, Imogen never became queen, that prize belonged to her German sister-in-law, Princess Caroline of Mecklenburg-Stralsund. However, Imogen was the mother of a king, giving birth to the future King George in 1839. As a result, most of her jewels are still worn by members of the royal family to this day. Sunderland's lover's knot tiara is perhaps the most famous of Imogen's jewels, having been worn by princesses and queens from every generation succeeding her. Despite rumours that the tiara is noisy, producing an awful "clacking" sound with every step its wearer takes, it has been a favourite of Queen Matilda Mary, Queen Anne, and Queen Irene in unflinching succession. The tiara is easy to fiddle with, flexible, with the top rows of pearls being removable. Since the 1830s it has starred in countless portraits, official images, and state events. Today, the tiara is on a long-term loan to Tatiana, Princess of Danforth who debuted the tiara in 2001. Since then the tiara has become her one of her most worn, next to her family's own diamond tiara. With the lover's knot's enduring popularity, it will be interesting to see who will don the sparkler next—at this point, it's almost a rite of passage.

DAY 10 - Favourite pearl tiara

Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara

Queen Elizabeth's Last State Banquet

OTD Queen Elizabeth hosted the state banquet for the American President and the First Lady.

The Queen donned the Burmese Ruby Tiara, which was made in the 1970s. She paired it with a much older suite of jewels: the Crown Rubies, which were originally set with opals but transformed to ruby jewels by Queen Alexandra.

The then Duchess of Cornwall wore familiar jewels, including the grand Greville Tiara. She paired it with her pearl choker necklace with the imposing pink topaz clasp.

The then Duchess of Cambridge paired Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara with diamond and sapphire fringe earrings that belonged to the Queen Mother. She secured her brand-new Royal Victorian Order sash with her Oak Leaf Brooch and a four-stranded pearl bracelet.

The Princess Royal wore diamonds and aquamarines, including the Aquamarine Pineflower Tiara. The diamond and aquamarine brooch that secured her Garter sash was once the central element of the tiara

A thrilling tiara moment came courtesy of the then Countess of Wessex, who debuted a remodeled version of her wedding tiara at the banquet. The tiara’s elements have been reconfigured, and the base has been completely redesigned. She’s also wearing a diamond demi-parure we’ve seen before (but for which we have no known provenance)

Royal Tiara Challenge 2024: Favourite Pearl Tiara

Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara

This tiara is likely to show up in a few people’s lists today! Another tiara that looks phenomenal on everyone who wears it, Queen Mary commissioned this tiara to look like one her grandmother owned, the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara. Aptly, it was last seen on the current Duchess of Cambridge (or should I say the Princess of Wales) in December 2023 for the annual Diplomatic Reception.

Royal Tiaras Highlights: Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara

This tiara was made in 1913 by E. Wolff & Co. for Garrard, as commissioned by Queen Mary of the United Kingdom. She specifically asked for Garrard to make a copy of the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara, a piece she admired. The original tiara was topped with a row of upright pearls - as seen on the portrait of Queen Mary - which was similar to the Cambridge Lover’s Knot but they were eventually removed and exchanged for diamonds. The diamonds and pearls used in this tiara come from a number of other pieces, including from the Ladies of England Tiara and the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.

The tiara was inherited by Queen Elizabeth II when Queen Mary died. In 1981, Elizabeth decided to give the piece to her new daughter-in-law, Diana Spencer, although it returned to the palace vaults in 1986 when Charles and Diana divorced. Today, the tiara is frequently worn by Catherine, the Princess of Wales on tiara events.
