Bandeau Tiaras

 A gold and enamel bandeau tiara with large aquamarines strategically placed around the band.

 A tiara with a design very similar to a Greek-key. A diamond wreath weaves around the design for a very petite, but elegant, design.

 An interesting geometric-design tiara made from diamonds and one large pearl in the center.

 Princess Andrew of Greece's Greek Key pattern tiara. It is most often worn by Princess Anne, the Princess Royal of Great Britain, and was recently worn by her daughter, Zara, for her own wedding.
