The piece was created for Queen Mary in 1913 by the royal jewellers, Garrard.
Queen Mary, the wife of King George V and the current Queen’s paternal grandmother, was known to be a jewellery enthusiast, and she introduced several tiaras into the royal collection.
Along with the Lover’s Knot Tiara, Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara has also become a classic royal diadem.
The Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara was worn by then-Princess Elizabeth for her wedding to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1947.
