the Tiara

I was really curious to see what Kate would do with her hair. I thought the elegance and simplicity of the tiara and veil complimented the dress beautifully. The tiara was made in 1936 by Cartier and is called "Halo". It was purchased by the Queen's father, King George, for his wife. It was given to Queen Elizabeth as a gift for her 18th birthday.

Kate’s earrings, custom made by Robinson Pelham to match her tiara, were a present from her parents. The earrings, with acorn motifs, were inspired by the new Middleton-family crest.
