What would be your top ten picks for tiaras to be featured on tv/in a movie in some fashion?
I don’t know that I really have top picks for something like that. Replicas are rarely up to my standards especially on TV shows because they just don’t have the budget. I also don’t watch a ton of royal tv shows and movies. I always feel a bit weird watching dramatizations of the lives of real people especially when they are still alive.
I think the person who makes the best replicas is Martin Adams so I’m always happy when I see that jewelry props are being made by him but I imagine he’s very expensive. Here’s a few of his tiaras
Hanover Fringe Tiara for The Young Victoria
Vladimir Tiara for Tussauds and the Downton Abbey movie
Dutch Sapphire Parure Tiara for Tussauds
Also, Cartier has made their own replicas of some of their famous jewels for a few movies lately. They made a replica of the Bains de Mer Tiara for the movie Grace of Monaco. It’s not one of my favorite tiaras but you can barely tell the replica from the real thing.
