Meghan Markle's Wedding Tiara, 2018

Markle is said to have chosen Queen Mary's diamond bandeau tiara for her wedding day because of its sleekness and simplicity, to match with her Givenchy dress. (Though it reportedly wasn't her first choice.) Made in 1932, the design featured a centre brooch, which has 10 brilliant diamonds that date even further back to 1893, when it was gifted to then-Princess Mary in 1893 by the County of Lincoln on her marriage to Prince George, Duke of York. Both the brooch and the crown were bequeathed to Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and Markle swapped out a traditional sapphire at the centre of the tiara for the brooch instead.
