Kate Middleton Has Her Pick of All These Royal Tiaras

Bought from Cartier in 1936, the Halo was a gift from George VI to his wife just before he acceded to the throne. It contains 1,311 brilliant- and baton-cut diamonds and was an 18th birthday present from her parents to the queen. It became a favorite of Princess Margaret and has also been worn by Princess Anne, but most famously Kate Middleton chose it for her "something borrowed" on her wedding day. Her parents had matching diamond earrings commissioned to emulate the scroll design as her "something new."
