A splendid late Victorian diamond-set tiara on sale at Bentley and Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. This tiara features beautiful foliate garland decoration- a style that, in jewellery, often included ribbons, bows, scrolls, or floral motifs. Such designs became popular during the period in which this tiara was made and drew inspiration from the decorative arts of the 17th and 18th centuries. Set with old-cut diamonds that sparkle romantically, the tiara’s botanical theme only enhances its feminine elegance. Designed with versatility in mind, the piece can be converted into a glamorous necklace, making it suitable for multiple occasions and effortlessly elevating any formal ensemble.
