It's definitely better than the $100 Amazon gift card that most of us receive after getting married! Although it isn't quite as large as some of the other diadems in Elizabeth's collection, size isn't always important when it comes to pure worth. The Queen is a huge fan of this tiara because it is stylish enough to wear to a variety of events.

2. The Lover's Knot Tiara of Queen Mary

Donn by: Diana, Princess Been in possession since 1914 Value Approximation: $4 million The Lover's Knot Tiara has become increasingly well-known as Kate Middleton's go-to headdress in recent years. It's easy to understand why the Duchess finds it so endearing. Ultimately, it's eye-catching, and the diamond and pearl topper was once owned by Diana, Kate's mother-in-law, whom she never had the opportunity to meet.

Princess Diana received it as a wedding present from Queen Elizabeth II, but she was forced to return it after her breakup with Charles in the 1990s. Due of its extensive past, its estimated value is approximately $4 million. Diana got a lot of use out of it in the years before her marriage broke up, even though she had to part with it. The Lover's Knot Tiara is undoubtedly one of the best items in the collection because of its big pearls and straightforward knotted diamonds.
