Fabulous Fabergé Tiaras

 A tall and grand diamond Faberge tiara, belonging to the Duke and Duchess of Westminster.

 An emerald and diamond tiara sketch. Many Faberge tiaras must have been disassembled or lost during the years, as there doesn't seem to be that many left these days.


 Another Faberge drawing of an elaborate diamond and emerald tiara.

 A more delicate design, a diamond and emerald tiara sketch.

 A delicate little Faberge tiara. The base looks to be a pale blue ribbon, but it is actually a patterned and textured blue enamel.

 A diamond floral wreath, very similar to the one that the Crown Princess Mathilde of Belgium often wears.
