Jewelry Connoisseur: Crowning Glory

Blushing bride aside, the star of this year’s royal wedding
was the glittering Garrard Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau tiara edging the duchess
of Sussex’s 16-foot veil. As with all things royal, this will no doubt reignite
sales of bridal tiaras, be they new designs, bespoke commissions or estate
pieces. Having a diamond tiara in-store ready to loan can also help sweeten an
engagement ring sale. These headpieces are popping up in fashion as well: A
minimalist homage lay nestled in the hair of a hoodie-wearing Elle Fanning for
the promo shots of
Paper Flowers, Reed Krakoff’s first collection for Tiffany
& Co. If you prefer a tiara-lite option, try
diamond-set hair bands or clips.
