Princess Marie Bonaparte’s Olive Wreath Tiara

A Cartier creation, it was commissioned in 1907 for Princess Marie Bonaparte’s wedding to Prince George of Greece and Denmark. The tiara was fittingly symbolic to the psychoanalyst Freudian French bride marrying into the Greek royal family: a French-made tiara with a Hellenic design.

The new tiara was a statement piece, with olive foliage seeming to envelop the crown and a teardrop-cut diamond hanging en tremblant as centrepiece. The original tiara had emeralds [as seen on the bottom part of the picture above] but was later swapped with diamonds.

A photo of the princess wearing the tiara:
