7 Standout Tiaras in Sotheby’s Platinum Jubilee Exhibition
Senior Editor Brecken Branstrator chooses the pieces she’d most want to see in person.

It wouldn't be a royal jewelry roundup without emeralds, and this tiara has plenty to offer.
I dislike when gemstones are referred to as semi-precious; I think the term takes away the inherent beauty and value of a gemstone of any kind.

One look at this diadem and I think you’ll understand why I chose it. It goes beyond what we usually see for tiaras, and that’s exactly what attracted me to it.
This had to be included; the pop of color combined with classic diamonds and gold is perfect.

I didn’t want to seem like I was playing favorites with colored gemstones, so I made sure to include some all-diamond pieces. This wasn’t hard by any means, as every tiara in the exhibition is a true piece of art.
I would die to get the chance to try any of these on, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be this, just to see how it wears. I’m a little obsessed with the idea of a diamond “halo;” who wouldn’t be?
