Tatler has released an article on the Valkyrie Tiara, which will be displayed at the Dundee's Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum. The tiara was created in 1935 on the year of Mary Crewe-Milnes' marriage to the 9th Duke of Roxburghe. It consists of 2,500 cushion-shaped, single-cut, circular-cut and rose-cut diamonds, set in a gold and silver frame. The en-tremblant diamond wings were constructed using wire-coiled springs, making them slightly move when worn. The Valkyrie Tiara was inspired by the female figure of Norse myth.

Inspired by the female figure of Norse myth, these elegant, winged-tiaras enjoyed a vogue in the late 19th century, with this example once owned by the first (and last) Marquess of Crewe

The BBC has previously released an article in 2017 ahead of Valkyrie Tiara's first display in public at the same Dundee's V&A Museum in 2018.

This is the first time I saw the Valkyrie Tiara and it's definitely one of the most, if not the most unique tiara that I have ever seen.

Its certainly unique
;)
 
Probably you're right :( :previous:

Pity that the ruby kokoshnik isn't with the family anymore.
 
Well, I simply don't think that a Mountbatten would wear a fake tiara for her wedding...
 
I hope its not a fake tiara!
 
I hope it’s not a replica either, it would be such a shock seeing as her father has the finances to buy her a real Tiara and that is was a copy of a Tiara already in the royal family.

Hopefully we get more info on this Tiara she’s wearing soon!
 
Did anyone go to the Sotheby’s exhibit on tiaras in London this year? I went and I saw Queen Victoria’s emerald tiara, the Westminster Bagration, the Derby tiara, the Devonshire tiara, among others.
