These kokoshnik-style tiaras were highly fashionable throughout western Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, largely thanks to Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary's mother-in-law, who received one (also from Garrard) as a silver wedding anniversary gift in 1888. Invited to design the gift herself, she chose to imitate the kokoshnik style worn by her sister, Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, who was gifted the tiara by Queen Mary in 1937, lent it to her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) when she married Prince Philip in 1947.
