Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom's Strathmore Rose Tiara

Creation: This tiara was made in the late 1800s and bought from Catchpole & Williams by Claude Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore, in 1923. It has two different frames so that it can be worn either on top of the head or across the forehead. The roses can be worn as brooches and were originally interchangeable on the tiara with five single sapphires.
