It was ultimately inherited by the late Queen Elizabeth II, who gifted it to Diana when she became Princess of Wales.
Maxwell Stone of U.K. jeweler Steven Stone described the tiara's weight to In Style. “The tiara is famously heavy enough to have caused discomfort to Princess Diana, underscoring the exceptional quality of the diamonds and pearls it holds,” he explained. The headpiece is made entirely of diamonds and features a collection of 19 hanging pearls, all set in platinum and gold.
