Weekend Bonus: The Delhi Durbar Tiara
Queen Mary of the United Kingdom (1867-1953) wears the complete parure created for the Delhi Durbar of 1911, including brooch, stomacher, earrings, necklace, and the Delhi Durbar Tiara (click here for provenance info). She wears the tiara here topped by several of the Cambridge emeralds, which were later removed; you can also see the cushion-shaped Cullinan IV diamond mounted in the center
