I had wanted simple, but I didn't know there was an older tiara that could capture simple so well. Lovely.
uriel said:I think the 'halo' tiara is different the scroll tiara we used to know. waiting for more large pictures.
I think the Halo and Scroll are the tiara, just they Royal Collection has the official name as the Halo, while we have dubbed it the Scroll. You look the same in the pictures and the story of the Scroll and story of the Halo listed on the official website are identical.

Ok - so it's the scroll- why can't the royals call it that then?
Conorius said:Indeed it was perfect. I loved the fact that it has been worn by each generation; The Queen Mother, The Queen, Princess Margaret, Princess Anne and now The Duchess of Cambridge!
It totally matched the dress, and I loved her new earrings, very tasteful. I reckon we will see her in those many times!
Yes i alwys thought it belonged to the Queen Mother and was lend out to Margaret and later to Anne. Margaret even wore it for the coronation in 1953.
I think not Catherine is the Duchess of Cambrdige she can also use the Lovers Knot tiara at some point.
I think over the years, the press or a jewel expert will dub a tiara by an unofficial name (think Princess/Lady Di or Fergie) but the royal collection will probably give its official name based on its "purchase" name. So in 1936, Cartier probably called it the Halo tiara (and as posters have noted, they probably made many "halo" tiaras). But back before we had a website to announce to us what the proper name is, the Queen Mum, Princess Margaret, and Princess Anne wore it publicly and some journalist or fashion editor started calling it the scroll tiara and the name caught on. Princess Margaret's Poltimore tiara was called that because it had previously belonged to the Duchess of Poltimore and same thing with the Queen's Grand Duchess Vladimir tiara. But to their previous owners, the tiaras were surely known by a different namePerhaps the tiara is titled as the Halo tiara but styled as the scroll tiara.
Ok.. ok...now I KNOW I've been up too many hours. I'm getting goofy.

It's a similar store with the fringe tiara many of us were hoping for. The royal collection just calls it the "Fringe Tiara," but people have dubbed it the Russian or Hanover/George III fringe tiara. The latter name because we mistakenly believed that it was the same tiara worn by Queen Victoria in a Winterhalter painting and thought to be made from diamonds belong to George III. However, the royal collection states very clear it's been mistaken to be, but not made from George III's diamonds and made in 1919. But we still continue to call it the George III fringe.
Ditto!The Scroll ("Halo") tiara was a brilliant choice. It is beautiful. It suits Catherine's tasteful simplicity of style. It belonged to the young Queen Mother, yet has not been strongly associated with anyone in particular. And, it has not been seen in a while. It is youthful and beautiful, feminine and romantic, while having a touch of modernity. It was the perfect choice for the new Duchess of Cambridge. Love it! Love it! Love it!
