Though they are quite similar, this tiara is not to be confused with the Vladimir Fringe tiara that the princess wore on her wedding day. Although Marina did not wear the diadem at her wedding, she did wear it to a number of other important events, such as the 1963 state visit by Greece.

Every jewelry fan is aware that the best designer is Van Cleef & Arpels. Throughout her life, Elizabeth Taylor possessed multiple items from the upscale French jeweler, of which she was a passionate fan.

This design is among the designer's best-selling items; it was not created especially for the Duchess. It's easy to understand why Kate chose this $17,000 set—it's the epitome of elegance.
