Princess Beatrice: Wedding Tiara and Jewelry Suggestions and Musings

[Lilyflo]

> And the only other option is the tiara made using the Burmese rubies only used so far only by the Queen.

Oh Gawd I hope not - that's hideous.

Oh Gawd I hope not - that's hideous.

Digressing briefly, I think that tiara can be greatly improved with just a few minor tweaks. If the centre bits of the rose's were peppered with diamonds instead of being entirely made of rubies, I think the tiara would considerably lighten up.

I expect to see a tiara from the Royal Vault and a pair of earrings (for non-pierced ears) and maybe a necklace gifted from her husband.

 

[CyrilVladisla]

I was sure the wedding was going to be at Windsor and that we’d see a tiara dug up from the vaults, like we saw for Catherine, Meghan and Eugenie.
But with the venue curveball, I’m now afraid we might not get a tiara at all. And Beatrice doesn’t have pierced ears and wears very little jewelry in general, so we might only get a bracelet or tiny earrings .

My wish (which I think isn’t likely) would be:
Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara

Persian Turquoise Tiara

The blue of the Persian Turquoise Tiara would be splendid. Does The Queen have a blue brooch that she could loan to Princess Beatrice?

Yes. Queen Mary’s Turquoise and Diamond Brooch.

Perhaps the sapphire and diamond brooch that Prince Albert gave to Queen Victoria as a wedding gift?

I hope not. There are plenty of other sapphire and diamond brooches in QE2's collection that could be used, if sapphires it must be.

A whole pages of the Queen's brooches (we know about) ...although I'm not sure they would look good on a wedding dress.

If Beatrice wears colored stones, Aquamarines would look fabulous on her as would pearls if she goes in another direction. She could really rock some nice pearls.

Would a single strand of one of Queen Alexandra's pearl necklaces look nice with Princess Beatrice's wedding dress?

I'm not sure any of them would look great on a wedding dress but there's several that would be absolutely stunning as hair ornaments should she choose to go in that direction rather than wearing a tiara.

 

[PrincessofEurope]

I have a feeling with Beatrice she is more low key and having a smaller wedding that she may opt for flowers over a tiara.

But I would love to be surprised and see her wear a tiara - the Strathmore Rose tiara or the Russian Sapphire tiara would be amazing

I think we might never see the York tiara again - I was shocked when Eugenie didn't wear it on her wedding day and I can't see Beatrice wearing it

 

[Moonmaiden23]

With Beatrice's hair and colouring, she would look amazing in topaz. But I don't know of any topaz tiara's in the Royal collection, or any topaz jewels at all.

What a great link, thank you. I think there are one or two that could be used for hair decor, which I think she will go for instead of a tiara or possibly flowers.

I don't recall seeing any Topaz at all...I think there's only one or maybe two Opals ...most of the collection seem to be precious stones.

Yes it's a great site, you can see all the jewelry/tiaras (known about) in the Queen's collection.

What tiara did Fergie wear for her wedding? Would it be possible for Bea to wear the same one?

She wore the York tiara. So called as it was purchased for Fergie for her wedding. It hasn't been seen since divorce. But unless sold privately and under a NDA its still in the family.

Not my favorite home like her sister she doesn't.

She wore it once in the early 2000 era...but never seen since then. Of course she doesn't really attend tiara events now.

I think perhaps Bea will wear the York tiara as a show of solidarity, support and love for Andrew as he continues to have his troubles. I'm sure she wouldn't wear the tiara that either Meghan, Katherine or Eugenie wore-too recent in people's memory. Except for the hat Bea wore to Williams wedding, Bea has toned down her wardrobe so I don't think it will be a huge showy one. My personal faves are the Cartier Halo and the Strathmore Rose! They are both gorgeous and I love the designs. Interesting that I have seen very few of these worn lately. The same 5 seem to be worn over and again. I would love to see one that hasn't been worn or seen in ages.

Agree. If there will be a brooch then it's probably on her hair rather than her dress. The Rose Gold Brooch or Queen Mother's Ruby look like a pretty good option.

Some people here say the persian turqouise tiara. I thought this was not owned by the Queen?

 

[DaphneHarridge]

I don't like the York tiara, but I voted for it because I think that's what Beatrice will wear. If that top middle diamond were removed, I'd like it better as it wouldn't be so spiky.

What I'd like to see from this list is either the Teck Crescent or the Sapphire Bandeau, but maybe we'll see something completely unexpected!

Speculations then.
I think she will wear the sapphire kokoshnik or the York tiara.

We don’t know who owns it now. However, if Beatrice wore it, Buckingham Palace would officially say who the owner is and a mystery would be solved.
Just like it happened with Meghan and Eugenie’s wedding tiaras.

The Strathmore Rose is my favorite BRF tiara..it would send me into orbit if Beatrice wore on her wedding day!

I don't dislike the York Wedding Tiara, but I also don't especially love it. It gives off "prom queen" vibes, imo.

There is no sapphire kokoshnik in the Vaults

Oh sorry, I meant the sapphire bandeau of Queen Mary...

Would also love to see it again but i have my doubts that Beatrice will choose this one. Would be a bit like copying Eugenie by wearing a tiara with coloured stones.
