THE GREVILLE

-

Margaret Greville was a very wealthy socialite with an impressive jewel box. The Greville tiara was made for her in diamonds and platinum in 1921 by Boucheron in Paris and when she died in 1942, she bequeathed it to Queen Elizabeth. In 1953 it was remodelled by Cartier and became one of the royal’s favourite headpieces. The tiara then passed on to her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2002 and has since been loaned to her daughter-inlaw Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, who wears it regularly.
