What about the big tiara that Camilla wears? I keep forgetting what it's called but it's really beautiful and I'm sure Kate can pull it off.
The Boucheron Honeycomb tiara?
Oh I should hope we never see Catherine wear it. It would look incredibly gaudy on a younger woman.
It's beautiful, but this is the time for Miss Middleton to receive that she can claim as a signature piece--and not one so closely associated with Diana. She has the engagement ring (gorgeous, BTW) let's see her get something not associated with Diana.
As much as I would like to see the Strathmore Rose tiara make a re-appearance (the BRF is woefully lacking in a suitable floral tiara), it is my understanding that the piece is set in silver and is very, very badly tarnished and not wearable. If it were refurbished that would be wonderful. Given the fact that Miss Middleton is marrying the son of the heir to the throne (so, he's second in line right now) I do think that we will see a smaller tiara. I hope, hope, hope, HOPE it is not that Lover's Knot tiara. It's beautiful, but this is the time for Miss Middleton to receive that she can claim as a signature piece--and not one so closely associated with Diana.

Am I right in thinking that their children, if they have them while the Queen is still alive, will only be Lords and Lady's.
I like this tiara but i don´t know if the owner is the Queen:

According to "The Queen's Jewels" (Leslie Field, 1987, pg 141) the tiara that you mention and link to was given by the Queen Mother to Princess Margaret. I consulted the catalogs of the auction of Princess Margaret's items and did not see that tiara as one that was auctioned by her children. This tiara is referred to, by Fields, as a "diamond fan leaf" and in the is illustrated in "The Queen's Jewels" as worn in the style of the day (1929) across the then Duchess of York's forehead.
Not sure who has that tiara now, and if it stayed with Margaret's children or perhaps was purchased back by the Queen. Perhaps someone with more knowledge knows.
Anyone else keen on seeing the Teck Rose and Crescent Tiara as a part of the wedding ensemble? It might even ease some international tensions a bit and reflect some sense of diversity... I dunno.

I think it's called the lotus leaf tiara because of the motif. It belonged to Princess Margaret and was worn by the Viscountess Linley her wedding day.I like this tiara but i don´t know if the owner is the Queen:

It is a lovely tiara! So lovely that i wonder if this could be in the vaults of the RF without being worn (can't imagine Queen Mary leave it to collect dust ). Is it known to belong to the royal collection or did the tiara disappear completely?
As long as the Queen doesn't cobble something together from leftover bits and pieces in the vault for Catherine, like she did for Sophie.
Thanks.I think it's called the lotus leaf tiara because of the motif. It belonged to Princess Margaret and was worn by the Viscountess Linley her wedding day.

Wasn't the Nizam of H. tiara broken up?
That's not a bad idea in. But look at the Queens record when it comes to putting together new tiaras: the Burmese ruby tiara, the aquamarine tiara, the sapphire tiara and Sophie's wedding tiara. None of them was a really successful design, if you ask me. Imagine that these beautiful brooches end up as something similar to the Swedish buttons tiaras. I am not sure if I'm going to stand that.Then I would respectufully but strongly suggest the Queen to have the 3 Nizam remaining roses reset in a new tiara for Catherine!
