If worn well & with the right wedding dress I think it would look good but in general, its not a tiara I would go for as its design I find quite boring, there are much nicer ones she could wear.
I agree with you that bridal tiaras more often than not get kind of drowned by the veil, especially if it the briede wears a puffy tulle veil. My favourite royal brides in that respect were Mette-Marit an Victoria. Mette-Marit really made the most of her rather small but beautiful tiara, because her veil was fixed above the bun at the back of her head. Victoria too fixed the veil behind her tiara, although it would take a great deal to hide the grand cameo tiara with a veil.If Catherine does wear a tiara (which I hope she does) I hope she will wear it in a fashion where it can be seen. It will have to be fairly large. If it's a small one than her veil should fall flat behind it. It was so difficult to see the tiaras of Princess Mary of Denmark, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, Princess Tessy of Luxembourg and all of Princess Margriet of the Netherlands' daughters-in-law's.

Kate seems to be the kind of women who prefers clear lines to frills and fluffyness, so I hope she will go this way with her veil, too.
Like the Girls of Britian and Ireland tiara, there is almost zero chance of that happening. Nice to have that kind of money to waste.
I know that is an awful amount of money to put down... I hope you are right and she does not wear this Tiara because I want to see it on Zara this summer...

If the woman who placed the bet did have some sort of inside information like knowing the tiara has gone out for cleaning or something, could it be getting ready for Zara instead of Kate?
Question about the fringe tiara: I've always believed that the then Princess Elizabeth borrowed the tiara from her MOTHER (Queen Elizabeth) for her wedding day not grandmother (Queen Mary) as Queen Elizabeth was the one who owned/or used it the most at the time. The Queen Mum also loaned it to Princess Anne for her wedding day in 1973. But some articles say that Princess Elizabeth borrowed the tiara from Queen Mary.
I would bet dollars to donuts that Zara will be wearing the Fringe tiara for her wedding. This is why: The Queen Mother wore it, her daughter wore it for her wedding, her daughter wore it for her wedding......there's a pattern there, I believe.
Didn't you say yesterday in post #1182 that you thought Zara would wear the scroll tiara? So... is there a reason you now think she'll wear the Fringe tiara?

It would a be nice mother-daughter tradition for Zara to wear the fringe. In that case, I think it'd be nice if Catherine could be given access to the Greek Meander tiara as a tribute to Prince Philip's upcoming 90th birthday. I know the tiara belongs to the Princess Royal and could be a wedding tiara for Zara, but I haven't seen her wear it for a while. So, I want to either see Catherine in the fringe and Zara in the meander on their wedding days, or Zara in the fringe and Catherine in the meander; two beautiful tiaras that have been gone unseen for too long, perfect for any royal bride.I agree there is a pattern there.Zara should wear the fringe tiara.
That's an unnecessarily smart-assed thing to say! They might surprise you, knowing there's no difference, two names for the same piece; and they would know how to wear it as a necklace, too.
I'm hearing Russian Fringe, but of course Mary Hart and Jane Seymour wouldn't know the difference between The Russian Fringe and the George III fringe
