Composed of nearly 200 carats of diamonds, this majestic tiara was given to Queen Victoria's granddaughter Princess Louise as a wedding gift from her husband in 1889. It features hundreds of exquisite diamonds ranging from one to ten carats, including a set of beautiful pear-shaped diamonds set on tiny pivots which would have dazzled onlookers when worn.
See the Fife tiara as part of Victoria Revealed at Kensington Palace from 30 March. Book now: goo.gl/afqfzt

It’s not owned by the current royal family, as in The Queen, Prince Charles, etc. It’s owned by the Duke & Duchess of Fife. It’s on loan to Kensington Palace, along with, I believe, two other tiaras. The current Duke of Fife is the Queens second cousin once removed and lives in Scotland.

@MandyJMaddison

I think it has the edge on the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland"tiara. because of the spectacular size of the diamonds, and the way they are hung. Both tiaras, and the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara have suspended jewels..... but only with THIS tiara are they cut jewels, so the sparkle must be superb!. There is nothing like a well-cut diamond! There is some footage of the Queen Mother, Charles, Diana and Anne attending a film preview of a Bond film..... can't think which, but it is Roger Moore. The Queen Mother is wearing that Greville tiara, which in still photos looks rather clunky. HOWEVER, as she moves, picking up the lights, in a dark interior...... it fairly BLAZES with light. I think that it is the precise modern cutting of those rather large diamonds that makes it so spectacular. Then....... let me weep! In 2018, before Christmas, thieves broke into a small museum display and stole the Portland Tiara. Cartiers had made several tiaras for the coronation of Edward VII, including the Manchester Tiara. In terms of DESIGN, I consider the Portland Tiara to be one of the most exquisite ever made, reflecting the Neo-Classical style of the Edwardian period, with the finest possibl craftsmanship. There were a number of quite large diamonds in it. I would presume that the diamonds were quickly ripped out and sold, reducing the tiara itself to no more than a little piece of crumpled gold and silver wire. The police arrested four people, but they have not disclosed whether the tiara is intact, or who might have it, if it is. I suspect tha idiots were after the stones, and saw no value in the object.

I think this is the most beautiful of all the tiaras followed by the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. What I like most about the Fife tiara though is that it's not overwhelming, like it's not swallowing the head of the wearer. Some of the other tiaras, while beautiful, just looks massive on the head of the person wearing it. It's almost like helmet than a tiara. This one is perfect in every way.
