Late Victorian Small Diamond-set Tiara by Bentley & Skinner

A delicate and romantic tiara. Made in the late Victorian era, this tiara features a dazzling array of old-mine cut diamonds arranged on a gold frame. The tiara can be unset from the frame and attached to a period hair comb, perfect for tucking into an elegant chignon.

On top of merching Abigail's necklace she's also been putting out PR puff pieces about her sweet nod to Charles like wearing this £15,000 Bentley & Skinner diamond bracelet from Charles.

https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/style/1767866/Meghan-markle-Charles-wedding-gift-hiking-outfit-dxus

The article also mentions all the jewelry she wore on the hike LOL My tin hat theory is that she wore that stack as a clapback at Kate and the RF since Kate was wearing the Queen's diamond festoon necklace & Diana's earrings.

Here is the list of jewelry Meghan wore on the hike according to the article:

£15,000 bracelet from Bentley & Skinner (wedding gift from Charles)

Diana's £17,800 Cartier wristwatch

Diana's £125,000 tennis bracelet

£5,000 Cartier Love

This is absolutely insane to me...just wild😆 This stunt with the jewelry was absolutely deliberate. Sad to see that she's still trying to make that royal connection, but as you said, she's also back to 2016...pap walking with Markus and friend.

LOL, she can't compete. She's just not at the level.

Don't get me wrong, I bet you're right and she thinks she's clapping back. It's just that she's not at the level.

Royal Warrants

Royal Warrant Holders or Purveyors to the Court are companies or individuals who provide a good or service to the royal court. Not all companies the royal buy items from are issued royal warrants and just because a company has one doesn't mean that they are the exclusive supplier of that product. The companies chosen are usually older and have a history of working with the royal family. Each country has a slightly different set of rules but in most of them the warrants have to be renewed on a regular basis and can be revoked at any time.

I only included countries that I could find a list for like I know Spain issues royal warrants but I can't find a list of them. Some abolished monarchies like Romania still issue royal warrants and some countries like Japan and Norway don't issue them anymore despite still being monarchies.

United Kingdom - Royal Warrant Holders - Over 800 - In the UK, royal warrants are issued from individuals not by the court as a whole. In the past the monarch, consort, and heir have been able to grant them and some companies may have a warrant from multiple people at once. They are good for two years after the grantor passes away so at the moment there are some from Queen Elizabeth II (686 total) and the Duke of Edinburgh (38 total) that are up in the air. I expect King Charles (159 already) will issue new warrants to replace some given by his parents but not all of them. The only jeweler that does not already have one from him is G. Collins & Sons who were QEII's personal jewelers.

Diamond, Onyx & Pearl Platinum Tiara

"Dazzling in person, this bandeau style tiara is made to be worn on the back of the head yet is of such a scale that it can be worn more on the forehead. Superior platinum work with superb mille grain detail provides the perfect setting for the wondrous combination of diamonds, natural pearls and onyx. Set in a Greek key pattern, four hundred and eighty (480) old European and single cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of 7.8 carats (color range H-K; VS1-SI1 clarity) embellish and create impeccable frames for seven (7) luscious natural pearls (untested but assumed natural due to age and examination) ranging in size from 3.35 mm to more than 8 mm in diameter. Rectangular cut onyx, ninety-five (95) gems in all provides contrasting visual interest against the whiteness of the diamonds and the pearls. To secure the tiara to the head, a length of ribbon or ribbon over elastic is engaged through the loops on the back of the silver head band.

The piece is accompanied by a blue velvet tiara box, possibly original with a cream silk interior embossed "Skinner Silversmith and Diamond Merchant, Orchard Street, London. W." in gold letters with the surmounted image of a crown."
