The best known of Mrs Greville's tiaras is without doubt the Greville Diamond Tiara, though the Emerald Kokoshnik worn by Princess Eugenie at her wedding attracted lots of publicity on the Greville Bequest.

The tiara, in its first recorded form, was made by Boucheron Paris in 1901 for the Coronation of Edward VII, as a tall Diadem of Lotus leaves, which was made with Mrs Greville own stones.



It was sent back to Boucheron Paris in 1921 for a major overhaul, and the completed tiara adopted a honeycomb pattern.

After inheriting the piece, The Queen Mother had Cartier London add some diamonds on the top line in 1953. According to Hugh Roberts, some brilliants cames from a brooch that was dismantled in 1949.
