The Gloucester Honeysuckle Tiara
This tiara was originally made for Queen Mary of Teck, around 1913/1914, with an interchangeable center so new jewels can be placed there for variety. Queen Mary then passed this tiara to her daughter-in-law Alice, the Duchess of Gloucester, as a wedding present in 1935, and added a central element to it: a diamond honeysuckle. Fancy! The tiara is currently in Alice's daughter-in-law's hands: Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester (pictured left).
