Beautiful jewels! Thank you for sharing the pictures Duke of Polignac!

I wanted to use this thread to talk about the Tiaras of Queen Farida, the first wife of King Farouk, who wore her Peacock Wedding Tiara, a Diamond Scroll Tiara (the same design as the necklace in the jewellery museum), and a tiara with a coloured stone (emeralds?) during her 10-year tenure as Queen! There is a bit more information about the Wedding Tiara and the other Tiara in this link!



However, I'm more interested in the Tiaras Queen Farida wore after her divorce and the abolition of the Egyptian Monarchy! In 1964, she wore what looks like a converted necklace tiara (which looks like emeralds in the black and white photos but is actually rubies), at the Wedding Ball of King Constantine of Greece and Princess Anne Marie of Denmark.




Queen Farida was also pictured wearing another ruby and diamond tiara at the Wedding of King Leka of Albania in 1975.
