From Tiffany to Cartier, 5 magnificent tiaras for modern-day royals and movie stars
From Kate Middleton to Gal Gadot, everyone loves a tiara, and these exceptional pieces are incredible enough for the next Met Gala red carpet (or even the Downton Abbey film)
Tiaras are not just for brides and ballerinas. Look at the Met Gala arrivals as a barometer of fashion: Gal Gadot arrived in Givenchy’s pearl tiara; Salma Hayek wore Gucci’s tiara of gold leaves; Ruth Negga sported a gold and diamond tiara. And even the great names in high jewellery have some exquisite and exclusive headpieces. Here are five stunning examples.
Tiffany & Co.
Tiffany & Co.’s Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Tiara is embellished with nine cushion-cut fancy intense yellow diamonds and white round brilliant and pear-shaped diamonds. The band can be detached as a bracelet, HK$3.2 million (US$408,000).
Cartier
The Hyperbole tiara, centrally set with a 140.21-carat cushion-shaped cabochon-cut emerald from Colombia, is encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds. The tiara can also be transformed into a necklace. Price on request.
