The Kent City of London Fringe Tiara



Unfortunately, there is not much information on this piece, but I find it a wonderfully beautiful fringe. Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark received the tiara from the City of London as a wedding gift for her marriage to Prince George, Duke of Kent in 1934. Since Marina, almost all the Kent women have worn the piece during their weddings- Princess Michael for her wedding ball and Princess Alexandra for her wedding at Westminster Abbey. A necklace of diamonds can also be worn over its top, as Princess Michael did.
