Italian Royal Jewels: Princess Astrid's Savoy-Aosta Tiara

Since we’ve just covered the Savoy-Aosta Emerald and Diamond Necklace, it makes sense to cover the tiara Princess Astrid wears with it. In fact, Astrid dons this tiara with every jewellery since it appears to be the only one in her possession.

The Savoy-Aosta Diamond Tiara

The beautiful tiara consists of scrolls, leafs and flowers embellish with diamonds. Like the necklace, the tiara comes from her husband’s family; it's first known owner was Princess Anne of Orleans. Nowadays it belongs to Archduchess Margherita, mother of Astrid’s husband Archduke Lorenz. The tiara appears to be on pretty much permanent loan to the Princess.
