Summary

You can’t be a King without the bling, and you can’t be a Queen without the sheen. Royal women have long donning glittering headgear to make them stand out from the crowd. Tiaras are works of art and are fitted with pricey diamonds, pearls and other precious stones. As these heirlooms are often passed down female family lines it is fascinating to see how they bounced across Europe with royal brides. Today, let's gawk at 7 of the most impressive and historic European royal Tiaras. Empress Josephine’s Cameo Tiara Norwegian Emerald Parure Tiara Stuart Tiara Fleur-de-Lys “La Buena” Tiara Prussian Diamond Tiara Tsarina Alexandra’s Pearl and Diamond Diadem Khedive of Egypt Tiara Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
