Top 10 | Most Beautiful and Expensive Tiara in History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Tiara refers to a jeweled headpiece that a woman wears for important formal occasions. A tiara usually looks like a small crown and is often worn by royalty or nobility. The largest collection of tiaras in the world is said to belong to Queen Elizabeth II.
Today, the word "tiara" is often used interchangeably with the word "diadem", and tiara is often translated to a word similar to diadem in other languages. Both words come from head ornaments worn by ancient men and women to denote high status. As Geoffrey Munn notes, "The word 'tiara' is actually Persian in origin-the name first denoted the high-peaked head-dresses of Persian kings, which were encircled by 'diadems' (bands of purple and white decoration). Now, it is used to describe almost every form of decorative head ornament." Ancient Greeks and Romans used gold to make wreath-shaped head ornaments, while the Scythians' resembled a stiff halo that would serve as the inspiration for later Russian kokoshniks. The use of tiaras and diadems declined along with the decline of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity.

I could stare at these jewels all day and not get bored.
Hello there, thank you so much for dropping by. i am just you liked the video. really appreciate it.
I can stare at this beautiful Russian girl that I know all day long and not get bored
I salute to the hands which made such precious tiaras.
They’re all so beautiful in their own way, but the lover’s knot is my favorite, and always will be. Lovely video.
feast your eyes...
oh boy!! the husband is in trouble
My aunt Emma, a daughter of a poor farmer was married to Russian royalty before WW2, and after her husband died during the war (husband and her father was shot on her birthday by the Germans when fleeing Poland) had to give up her royal title as there were no children to inherit the titles. All jewelry was also to be returned to the royal family. When she immigrated to Canada and married a Canadian Polish descendant, her husband, just an average worker in a factory in Toronto, Ontario, bought my Aunt Emma an emerald ring. She was his Canadian princess and he would do his best to give her a lovely emerald ring as best as he could afford. Aunt Emma worked in a mattress factory, sewing mattresses until her Canadian husband passed away. She moved to Edmonton, Alberta and passed away a few years later after a debilitating stroke. An amazing woman, who should have become a doctor.
I live in Alberta and I too come from a family of Polish Nobles :) unfortunately, they were stripped of everything during the war. The way my grandmother lives and acts, you would have no doubt that she is descended from nobility. She is the most beautiful and graceful woman.
My family used to he scottish nobility, but in the 19th century the castle was sold and the family scattered to the wind, ending up all the way into Texas.
War ruins people, it's so sad. Your aunt sounds like a beautiful lady ❤
Thank you for sharing your amazing family story
I’m from both German and Polish.. my last name was “Von Werner” until we apparently dropped using it after the war.. my mothers side was the polish
I cannot imagine how heavy these things were to wear....for hours. The raging headache you'd have wearing these. They're beautifully crafted, and masterpieces to be sure.
I was thinking about the pull on the earlobes myself! Imagine how stretched the lobes would be after decades of wearing them? Ouch!
I think I would chance it to wear something so lovely.
That's why I don't wear mine. The heaviness and all the headaches.

The Princess Alexandra tiara is my favorite tiara in the entire world. Maybe because I've had an obsession with the Romanovs since I was a little girl, I watched the movie Anastasia so much as a kid, and I still love it to this day. Yes, I know, the original story is heartbreaking and tragic, but I still love the film.
Empress Alexandra was the epitome of high class elegance......a beautiful combination of british and russian royalty......i hate she and the rest of the romanovs met such a tragic fate
Diamond Rose it’s a beautiful piece Queen Mary was a person who could wear a tiara she was made for it outstanding was Queen Mary!
Yes The Albert to Queen Victoria Tiara is outstanding!
I recognized the tiara from the Anastasia movie, it is indeed stunning!
You should see their faberge eggs too....❤️
The Brazilian Aquamarine Tiara is eye-catching. I love it!
I love the Aquamarine tiara and accompanying pieces that Elizabeth II favored. They looked beautiful on her, especially against her snowy white hair!
They are just amazing
Stunning
I am in love with tiaras for the craftsmanship is extraordinary to admire. I had never dreamed of being a Queen or a Princess but tiaras are divine.
The Brazilian aquamarine is stunning! The necklace, earrings all of it!
Brazilian aguamarine colambia emeralds iran tourguoice indian suphire europeangueens
My favorite, too!
I agree. It is absolutely stunning. Diamonds are wonderful, but gemstones have amazing energy. If everyone wore gemstones the world would be a better place.
One of my favorite
I think its design is the least elaborate though, big pieces with much details. its my least preferred in this collection.
These pieces are astoundingly beautiful
Yeah they are 😊
Глаза , ни когда не устанут смотреть , а сердце любоваться этими совершенными изделиями , сотворенными гениями Человечества ))) спасибо , Вам уважаемый Андрей ))))
Nowadays royals don’t even wear crowns unless it’s some special day
It’s a shame to leave them on display rather than have them worn, they are made to be worn in order to be able to fully appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship. Even if The Louvre placed the tiara on a rotating mannequin head with the right lighting it would do the tiara more justice.
yeah, I dont think that I have ever seen anyone from the royal family wearing Fife tiara, its a shame because its sooo gorgeous, I think that Kate would look stunning with it
The Queen said in an documentary, it’s basically rock and metal you have on your head, it’s a tremendous weight, she said you can’t move your head with them.
I agree. I will say though that wearing such an expensive and important piece is very overwhelming. Obviously, I never had the opportunity to wear a royal tiara. However, I once had the opportunity to try on a ring found in the Atocha Shipwreck sunk in 1622.
My parents and I were visiting a Shipwreck museum and some of their other finds were available for purchase in a fine jewelry store located after the tour. Many pieces were reproductions, but some were authentic. My dad was interested in some of the pieces and I guess the employee knew he was a serious buyer and actually took this huge emerald set on a small gold ring and let my mother and I try it on
Im petite and it only fit my pinky finger and felt absolutely overwhelmed trying on a 400 year old ring that was probably meant for a Queen.
It was an experience I will never forget.
I joked with them afterwards that unless I was with them, there was no way that oppertunity would have been offered to me.
@@bonniehowell4259 it’s always special to get an opportunity like that. A lot of antique jewellery looks really heavy. Just seeing them doesn’t really do them justice.
I agree, those tiaras don't look as spectacular as when they are worn.
They're all beautiful, but it breaks my heart from where some of these precious stones came from and in what manner
Yes It's really sad... the jewels industry is ruthless and horrible
but most of the clothes you and i wear today are made in sweatshops by children
what are we to do? go around naked?
if we look at every unfairness in life we would never progress
@@grai maybe if we pay a fair amount for every hardwork and not be so ignorant then the world will be better for everyone . Do you really think you will have to walk around naked if you paid them well ?
@@Talesofsmi let me explain
people insist today's owners of jewels mined 200 years ago are responsible for slavery
That's just as much of a nonsense as people going naked because clothes are made in sweatshops
Simplistic resentment is a complete waste of time
@@grai so human's shouldn't even feel resentment for the wrongdoings they suffered . If you don't want to that's fine don't try to shut the mouth of others . It's their mind,heart, and feelings not yours to judge what is right what is not . God gave you one head and one mouth. Be happy with that don't try to grow more.
It’s amazing how a crown from more than 500 years is still beautiful in our eyes 2022
gems and gold last, that is why and partly why we desire them, they are eternal.
gems and gold last, that is why and partly why we desire them, they are eternal.
I'm amazed that people are constantly expressing their surprise that we're just like other people. We're all just PEOPLE! WTF are they learning in school these days?
I thought white diamond tiaras were my favorite, but that Ligne tiara with the aquamarines in so stunning I would say it is the most beautiful.
The 'Fife Tiara', is my favorite! It's The Most exquisite pieces of jewelry ever designed and constructed, I've ever seen! Oh... the commentator has just quoted the view as I! 😄
My top favourites are: the Lover's Knot tiara, the Lotus tiara and the Alexandra Kokoshnik tiara.
I think the number one tiara will make the Princess of Wales look so stunning and beautiful , but whatever tiara given to her by the late Queen Elizabeth ll to wear during the Coronation will always make her look dazzlingly beautiful .
The Fife's and Queen Victoria's tiaras are the best,ooooh,they soo beautiful! I fall in love with Fife's tiara
Fife... What a masterpiece. A tiara should make you catch your breath. (Personally, I'd prefer it to be platinum or white gold entirely)
👸🏻💎
Most of the jewels are from India. Proud to be an Indian😊
Unfortunately, they are violently taken from India
Sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@@bakhodirmakhkamov6899 it’s a shame it can’t be returned to India 🇮🇳
I love Indian accent. So alienating
You like your country and people being exploited for their resources?
The collection is simply wonderful and charming.
The computer generated voice over is thoroughly dreadful, but it is an interesting video.
That's vincent!
And the music is beyond irritating!
Gerard Patrick Better than many.
Thoroughly.
I couldn't tell until you mentioned it. There are a lot worse!
The best of real jewelry is not its beauty, spectacularity or value. It's from the stories & royal secrets that they've seen and heard and don't tell .
Exactly 🤗
Secrets secrets are no fun
Secretes secrets hurt someone
The Kokoshnik is so elegant! I like the ones without large diamonds or stones far more than the ones that do have. They are beautiful, but subtle compared to for example the Brazilian Aquamarine.
if you like the more subtle tiaras, you might want to check out the scandinavian ones, such as the swedish cameo tiara, or the danish naasut. what they may lack in gems they more than make up for in design!
It was styled so well with all of the chokers originally 🤩👌🏽
The "Queen Mary's Lover's Knot" is my favorite tiarra...All are stunning.
The aquamarine tiara is my favorite. It's my birthstone and my favorite gemstone
Cara M. The modern one or the tiara Queen Elizabeth II owns? I love Aquamarine too and the colours of both tiaras were amazing!
@@krisushi1 I did forget to mention which one! I like them both but I prefer the new one. The only thing I'd change is the letter L shape scroll work around the top.
Cara M. Totally agree. Although I loved the modern style of this one, it did look like the letter 'L' around it! It's unusual to see Aquamarine on a tiara and Andrew picked two as his favourites. I love coloured gems, especially different to what everyone seems to wear. You'd love the pear shape stone I purchased last year that is a teal shade of Aquamarine but not dark. I plan to make it into a pendant with a diamond halo but not right up against the stone so there will be negative space to highlight the Aqumarine. I already have some stud square cushion cut earrings in white gold and a matching ring. All I need now is a matching necklace! It's hard to stop once you get started!
@@krisushi1 That sounds beautiful!! I was looking for a pair of aquamarine earrings for a long time but nothing caught my eye. My Mother went to Italy and brought back this stunning pair in a drop design and lever back in platinum. The aquamarine stones are 1.7 carats each and have 3 tiny diamonds at the top of the drop. They are everything I never knew I wanted and I wear them constantly. Now I'm looking for a necklace
Cara M. Those earrings sound very nice and a good size too. I actually happened to mention to my Jeweller that I didn't have any Aquamarine yet and he took me to a counter and showed me these beautiful studs. They didn't have any diamonds but bezel setting on two sides which made them look that little bit different than regular claw set studs. Of course I put on a deposit and paid them off as a Christmas present to myself that year. It was almost two years later that I saw the ring which was also set the same way, same colour stone and cut, white gold but it did have three channel set diamonds on each side. So you never know when that matching necklace will turn up!
The Fife tiara is just simply beautiful!!!
Those princess are so lucky that get chance to wear these beautiful tiaras.😍
The Ligne Aquamarine tiara is stunning.
Emeralds stones are my favorite though.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful creations.
The emerald tiara is my favorite! 💚💚💚
2nd on my list
I love all the emeralds, but I think the Oriental Circlet (only an honourable mention) is probably my favourite, it's so delicate.
Makes me proud to be aristocratic and Royal And AMERICAN.
I AM a MEMBER of The British Irish Scottish French German and Spanish and Indian Royal ,
MONARCHY and ARISTOCRACY.
Just to be able to wear one once...just once...sigh!
For real! Just for a split second! Just long enough for a photo! And I wouldn't care if the person never really let go of it! Just let me feel the weight and see it on my head! 😏😁
Thanks for another great video! very entertaining and informative. I love looking at the Tiaras and hearing about their history!
Hi there thank you so much for dropping by. I am really glad you enjoyed watching the videos 🤗
REMARKABLE WORK IT IS A JOY TO LEARN AND SEE BEAUTIFUL JEWELS. LOVE THE AQUAMARINE TIARA. I WAS SURPRISE TO SEE
PANDORA JEWELERS ON THE LIST THANK YOU IT WAS VERY REFRESHING SEGMENT
Thank you for another lovely video. I find that one of my favorite styles of tiaras are Russian designed. I love the Kokoshnik design which I believe is based on a traditional Russian style of head ornament! They come in many different designs but their basic style is very pleasing to me. I particularly like the smaller Kokoshnik tiaras such as the one worn by Princess Eugenie at her wedding. It is wonderfully simple but so beautiful!! I'm just not crazy about the tall and spiky tiaras. Anyway, thanks again for the video!! Much love,
♥️🇺🇸♥️
hello don, thank you so much for dropping by, and also I was planning to make a video about the floral tiara motif, what do you think would it be nice?
The crown is not just a crown, although it is a symbol of history, witness and many years tragic, love, and peace.
The Kokoshnik tiara is shown alongside a photo of Her Majesty on the day of her wedding to the Duke of Edinburgh, but that was not the Kokoshnik. It is the George III Fringe Tiara. The two look very similar. The fringe has smaller pikes between the larger one. And the pikes on the Kokoshnik are rounded whereas those on the Fringe Tiara are more pointed. Otherwise love the video.
Another magical presentation of some of the worlds most magnificent jewels! Thank you for sharing these.
Your welcome 🤗
Even though Elizabeth 2 is gone she will always be the queen of royal fashion and jewelry
Greetings from IRAN . Thank you soooooooo much for showing the beautiful Queen *Farah* *Pahlavi* , the *SHAH'BANU* of *Persia* , ( *IRAN* ) & her beautiful tiaras . This is a very nice video . Thank you very much . God bless you . You are the best .

The Fife tiara is stunning.
I didn’t know there was a Fife tiara until I watched this. As I live in Fife it’s got to be a very special one for me too. I think it’s absolutely breathtaking. One of my absolute favourites, I’m glad you love it too.
which sec?
Me: wearing my first tiara
Husband: what’s that on your head?
Yes, a beautiful video!!! I never knew that there were so many crowns! Thank you for enlightening me!!
Jackie Kennedy with her small glass brooch in the center of her lovely hair and wearing a silken gown was a vision of loveliness greater than any...She was so gorgeous no amount of diamonds could outshine her.
Well said
Agreed. She was a beautiful and elegant woman……however, this video is about tiaras, not beautiful women.
Elegant maybe but she wasn't beautiful
@@jancarr1 Jackie had powerful style and she was intelligent, but I think it’s criminal the way ppl compare her and Marilyn Monroe when the two are both great women
Jackie had a very masculine face, she wasn’t beautiful at all.
How am I to pick a favourite from these incredible works of art? So I won't. I do get upset each time I see the one with the Emeralds atop and cringe that the actually drilled through them! Ouch!! There were some at the start that also deserved at least a viewing. The unusual modern look to the Queen Elizabeth II Aquamarine was stunning but have never seen her wear it. The Marie Therese Emerald and Diamond Tiara was at the top too. I do feel sorry for The Duchess of Cambridge always being compared to Diana. I wish the public would let her be her own woman. Anyone who knows me knows that my taste is more for coloured gems but in this list even the White Diamonds made an big impact. The reason Queen Elizabeth II has the largest collection would be due to her age and popularity. She has had more time to put together and be gifted more jewels. Thanks again Andrew. Would love to view some of the others from the start not in top 10? Kris from Australia.
Gorgeous pieces - what artistry! I like the aquamarine pieces the best.
Gorgeous and dazzling. Never tire of looking at them and would love to see more. At the end of this video the screen was mostly covered by some ads that covered the tiara being worn. It looked like it would be lovely. I'd like to see it completely. Women never tire of jewelry.
More to come! i am just glad you like it. thank you so much elle belle for always being there.
The one with the emeralds looks like little green light bulbs
They are, and they are so stunning. 🤗 thank you so much for dropping by.
christmas tree lights no less,,lol
Emeralds are my birthstone. William Morris said precious gems should be so bursting with colour you should want to eat them! I love the French Tiara here, the most beautiful to me.
@@scarletpimpernelagain9124 now I want to go eat jewels
Although some crowns and tiaras have better designs than others, they're all gorgeous!
Yes! True they are all magnificent
True. Every design has to do with someone who wears on it. They just don’t fit with just anyone.
My favorite tiaras #3, #6 of course they all are magnificent jewels
Great collection, thank you.
They all are so beautiful.
I'm disappointed that none of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna's Tiara's weren't included in this (the wife of the last Emporer Czar Nicholas II)...but there certainly were some beauties in your top 10 😍
Wow! Awesome video.. I am honored that a number of my suggestions were included in your list. Thank you and more power 😊
Yes! I made this video out of your previous request, i just hope I didn’t disappoint you..
Perfect emeralds are historically really hard to come by- *especially* as they get bigger, so each one of those tiaras is very special.
For my own personal taste; 7, 4, & 3 are my favourites (special mentions for Victoria’s Sapphire circlet & Lotus circlet).
You'll find the BEST EMERERALDS in the world in Colombia but get a local with references because there's also a lot of crime involved.
So they were stolen
The Fife tiara is my favorite. I wish it could be worn instead of sitting in a museum.
This was educational and random for me even stop in on it first time on your channel I like the video 👍🏾👍🏾
Those emeralds!
Quanta beleza!!! obrigado por compartilhar!
I can’t even wear an elastic headband without getting a headache! Can’t imagine wearing these! Give me a wreath of flowers instead!
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
These are incredible and gorgeous :-)
They are 🤗

Wow so beautiful thank you. My favorite aquamarine tiara
The Marie Therese emerald and diamond tiara can't have survived the French Rvolution (in 1789) if it was made in 1819.
finally someone 👍
There was more than one French Revolution. The revolution the video is referring to is most likely the February Revolution of 1848, which happened about 18 years after the July Revolution (1789), but it's often forgotten because of Napoleon.
@@joanbartelson9165 This is Princess Marie-Therese of France, daughter of Marie Antoinette.
Mesmerising, thank you.
Your welcome
I am reminded that a lot of these expensive precious things were actually stolen from countries that now desperately need these things to improve their countries economic situation.
WOOOOOOOOOOW ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 🤗💫👑
I love tiaras! I wore one for my wedding with my veil and it was perfect! Super gorgeous and pulled my dress together perfectly!! My friends were surprised to see me with a tiara due to that most brides don’t wear them, but hey, it’s my wedding and I’ll be a princess on that day if I want to:)
Thanks for sharing!!
And besides wearing it for a wedding.. When else would you wear it..? I get it girls like to play princess but tiaras' are so impractical, like crowns but at least men don't wear crowns anymore.. But I guess women still need to feel like princesses, says alot.
A crystal tiara probably isn’t very expensive there are definitely affordable choices I think are pretty. I think I’m going to put one on my baby girl just because it will be fun.
The emerald tiaras are beautiful too.
So beautiful
Thank you for sharing the history, and the stories behind these wonderful Tiaras!
The story, with in a story so to speak.

Oooh, impossible to pick a favorite! LOVE the Power Unity Miss Universe tiara tho! And the Princess Farah 7 Emerald.
Wonderful indeed! Thankyou so much for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The most dreaming beautiful timeless loving Icons beauty ever...Make beautiful more dreaming gorgouessssssss...So much love and respect...Eva xxxxx
Drilling through those emeralds instead of making a bezel setting for them is crazy. You basically ruined those awesome emeralds for no reason! Yellow diamonds with white are beautiful, but they messed up with those emeralds
Absolutely beautiful!
In the second one shown, the diamonds were not in silver, trust me. Diamonds will never be found set in silver. Only platinum or gold, so it was either platinum or white gold
There are two Lovers` Knot tiras. The original is the Gloucester Lovers´ Knot and Queen Mary loved it so much that she had her own similar one designed, which is known as the Cambridge Lovers´Knot. The russian-style tiara worn by Her Majetsy Queen is knwon as the Fringe Tiara (someitmes Queen Mary`s Finge Tiara) and was commissioned by Queen Mary,
Those pearls are gorgeous 😍
Today I thank you for so much beauty and so much knowledge , the Crowns where some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. 🇦🇺
Thank you
That green emerald Tiara is so stunning it's my favorite
My favourite is the Kokoshnik tiara! So lovely!
Hi there Shady 🤗, i am glad you like it.
Great video ... one suggestion .... in the section about the Marie Therese emerald and diamond tiara, you correctly state that it was created in the early 1800s, during the restoration of Louis XVIII and Charles X .... but then you say it "survived the French Revolution", which was in 1789. You might choose to change that.
The French have had a few. In this case they mean the 1848 revolution that brought the 2nd Republic.
The lovers knot tiara suits Kates head so much. It looks as though she was born to wear it
What an absolutely fabulous presentation. Bravo !
Most beautiful tiaras ever looks gorgeous astonishing.
Omg. They're so beautiful, but no. 7, the power unity tiara is simply breath taking. Oh, just to wear it for an hour!👑👸
Hmmm would you like me to make a miss universe tiara collection
@@AndrewPidor I've seen Ms. Universe crowns, they don't come close to these.
@@gypseenomad3956 😅 so true. But some viewers is asking me to make the collection and tell the story of each..
The return of the Lover's Knot Tiara by Diana was not part of her divorce settlement. It was never hers. All the major jewels of British royalty belong to the Queen. The monarch is the only person not liable to UK inheritance tax, so it was for this and other reasons, such as potential divorce, that the Queen retains ownership. She loans them out. She loaned Diana various jewels for life, but Diana voluntarily returned the biggest jewels as she would no longer be attending state functions. When she died, her estate was taxed at 40%, including the value of her own jewellery such as her engagement ring, now worn by Kate.
Belongs to India .. stolen by British !
Pradipa Mahadeva Without the Brits you'd still be burning widows at the stakes.
burning windows?
The English crown jewels belong to the crown - not to Queen Elizabeth II

I have to dream day and nights so I can enjoy your precious diamonds tiaras... wearing it in my dreams so I have to continue sleeping never to wake up... Thank you for the history of precious stones....

diamonds are always an essentials, it makes this tiaras so beautiful,that miss universe tiara should be well preserved. it's a master piece.
Wow, actually your the first person who said that.🤗
@@AndrewPidor thanks.
They are all beautiful
Victoria's is incomparable imo 🥰
WOW! We can't ingore the history of the precious diamonds that were collected to form tiaras.
