Princess Margaret wore the Poltimore tiara on the most important of occasions: her wedding to Anthony Armstrong-Jones.
to her by the Queen) the then-29-year-old wanted something she could call her own. “It's such a modern thing,” Sara Prentice, Creative Director, House of Garrard, tells. “We’re finding more and more now that women are purchasing for themselves, but way back in 1959, she chose it for herself. She must've loved it to do that.”
A year and a half later, on May 5, 1960, Princess Margaret wore the tiara on the most important of occasions:to Anthony Armstrong-Jones. Now, it was part of history. “It became the most associated tiara with Princess Margaret,” says Prentice. Her wedding was just its most public outing: in 1977, for example, she donned it again for the Shah of Iran’s state visit to the United Kingdom. And, although no tiara can exactly be deemed functional, the Poltimore tiara’s design allowed it to have multiple uses. It could transform into a necklace or, if one wished, 11 different brooches.
When worn, the tiara almost appears to float. This is because the framework is laced with a brown ribbon, meant to match Margaret’s hair color. Therefore, only the cloth would sink into her head, while the spectacular jewels remained in full view. Prentice surmises that such a piece took around six months to make.of Princess Margaret's private collection. The offerings included the Poltimore Tiara, which went for 926,400 pounds to a private buyer. Its whereabouts are unknown.
