These Are the Jewels Kate Middleton Borrows the Most From the Queen

At her 2011 wedding, Kate's "something old" was the Cartier "Halo" tiara, which had been a gift from the queen's father to her mother when they were the Duke and Duchess of York. It is set with 739 brilliant diamonds and 149 baton diamonds and was passed on to their daughter the then Princess Elizabeth on her 18th birthday. Seven years later, on the occasion of her coronation, she lent it to her sister Princess Margaret, and later to her daughter Princess Anne, but Kate was the first to wear it on her wedding day. The scrolls of the tiara were copied by the jeweler Robinson Pelham, whom Kate's parents commissioned to make her wedding day earrings, so it seems likely the duchess will wear this tiara again.
