Introducing our Amethyst Crystal Earrings in the enchanting Amethyst colour. These earrings draw inspiration from one of Queen Elizabeth II's cherished tiaras. The story behind this tiara begins in 1893 when Lady Greville formed a committee to gather funds from the Girls of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. Their mission was to purchase a wedding gift for Princess Mary of Teck, who would later become Queen Mary.
With their collective efforts, they raised an impressive £5,000 and acquired a stunning tiara from the renowned Crown jewellers, Garrards. The tiara boasted an exquisite festoon and scroll design, adorned with nine magnificent oriental pearls mounted on diamond spikes. A bandeau base, embellished with alternating round and lozenge collets, complemented the design, all encrusted with dazzling diamonds.
Queen Mary cherished this tiara and wore it throughout her lifetime. In 1947, she bestowed it upon Princess Elizabeth, who would later ascend to the throne as Queen Elizabeth II, as a wedding gift. This tiara holds a special place in the heart of our present Queen, who lovingly refers to it as 'Granny's Tiara.'
Now, you can capture the elegance and regal charm of this iconic tiara with our Crystal Fringe Tiara Earrings.
Jewellery Care
We wish for you to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible, and therefore recommend you read the following care instructions.
Please do not expose the jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures or sunlight for a prolonged period.
Please make sure to apply cosmetics, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on the jewellery to avoid possible blemishing and discolouration.
Do remove the jewellery when performing any activity which may cause damage to the product, e.g. exercising, showering or performing household tasks.
Store each piece of jewellery separately as constant brushing together can damage the finish.
Acid in your skin and fragrances can attack the plated finish and so from time to time you should gently wash the items in your hands with warm soapy water.
Do not use brushes or cloths. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully.
Avoid using Ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which can dislodge the stones.
