The Five Aquamarine Tiara

We've seen this tiara worn by the Duchess of Edinburgh in recent years.

That tiara looks beautiful on both Sophie and Camilla. I'm glad to see Camilla up and about. She looks good.

I thought the tiara was on long-term loan to Sophie. I guess Camilla had it returned to the vaults?

I imagine that any loans made by QEII were not binding on her successor and therefore ended with her death.

We'll probably see Sophie wearing her wedding tiara, and Catherine wearing the Lover's Knot tiara. Camilla won't want to use that one since many people still associate it with Diana.

I think the problem with this tiara is that the stones don't show up well on light hair. The person wearing it should have dark hair.

I think it's a pretty tiara that would suit a young lady. I agree about the hair color, too, Carolyn.

I respectfully disagree.

I think the muted shades of the gems work well with lighter shades of hair.

I'm with you, Hollie. I think the tiara looked amazing on Sophie and good on Camilla. Camilla's hair color isn't quite as good as Sophie's for the aquamarines. I think the dark hair issue might be why HM QE II never wore the tiara a second time.

White hair vs. blonde hair. I think yes to blonde and brunette, but not to white.
