Why can't Meghan wear her wedding tiara for all formal occasions? Why a spare?

Actually, I do think that a headpiece or a tiara that is commissioned for Harry's bride will be the most logical way to go. That way, it remains in Harry's family and passed down through generations. Much like Sarah's wedding tiara that we'll probably see the York princesses wear on their wedding day and Anne's tiara that Zara wore.
I still don't see a special tiara being made for Meghan, although I could be wrong.

Look at it this way too. When the Duchess of Cornwall's daughter, Laura, married, she wore her mother's Cubitt-Shand tiara that was a family heirloom from Camilla's family. It will continue to be passed down the line as the generations progress. It has no providence whatsoever with the BRF and even though Camilla will be Queen, none of her children will ever be seen wearing something from the royal vault.
Over time, its nice to have family pieces that have their own bit of history to it and remain within the family. This is what would happen should a tiara be created for Harry's bride. Its the start of their own family tradition.
I fully expect Meghan to wear a tiara...I hope it's one of the BRF tiaras in the vault. There's plenty to choose from. Some will be off limits because they are already earmarked and worn by the Queen, Camilla or Kate etc. It's possible they could make a new one...but I hope not.

When Kate wore the halo scroll we knew it was a ‘starter’ tiara. Kate has worn three different tiaras during her marriage and will have access to everything as Queen
Meghan may wear a ‘bigger’ tiara at her wedding but she will have access to a much more limited selection as a royal.
Lady Diana Spencer wore the smaller of the two Spencer family tiaras at her marriage to The Prince of Wales. Both Diana's sisters and her brother's first wife also wore this tiara at their weddings. Her father (and later her brother) allowed her to keep the tiara to wear when she wished as it was easier to wear than Queen Mary's Lover's Knot. It is now back in the possession of Diana's brother, Charles, 9th Earl Spencer. The next wearer will probably be his wife, Countess Spencer, or one of his daughters at their marriages.What was the tiara Diana wore when she got married? Since Kate got both the ring and apparently Diana's watch too - would it be wrong if Meghan wore that tiara?
If Meghan is into sapphires that would look great on her.
There may be more tiaras locked way in vaults too that haven't seen the light of day in who knows when...maybe they will get dusted off.

It is rumoured that she prefers Emeralds, but replacing the central Sapphire with an emerald [perhaps Queen Marys' carved emerald brooch] wouldn't be too difficult.
I don't think Meghan will get a sapphire engagement ring, because I think Harry would not want to choose the same thing as William.
I think he'd give her either an emerald or a ruby; if he does, the Grand Duchess with the emeralds instead of the pearls would be very nice.
The inner 'ring'of the Godman necklace [minus the drops] would make a fine tiara, if mounted on a frame.
Its in in the Queens possession and has been rarely worn, as the Cambridge emeralds have a far more significant association with the BRF.
I've heard that too but she doesn't wear much jewelry (even when going to fancy events) that I've noticed so hard to tell.

Right I know they borrow pieces..but I don't remember her really wearing (red carpet or whatever events) fancy jewelry. She might be more like Kate who doesn't seem to really enjoy wearing those big pieces.

almost be a crime to break that up.
Detaching the drops and putting it on a frame are all reversible steps. If I were a jeweller I would add four more small square emeralds from elsewhere [two either side] in the festoon at the ends, so the 'green' is carried through consistently.
The central drop could be mounted as a brooch, another pair as earrings, leaving four 'to play with'...
