It’s only right that an impressive piece of bling can be worn in more ways than one!
After a cleaning, the stunning piece is reattached and becomes a tiara again.
The tiara is currently on display at a new exhibition at Victoria’s childhood home, Kensington Palace — wherePrince William,Kate Middletonand their three children now call home, in addition to other royals — as part of the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth.

It’s not rare for pieces of jewelry to be made into tiaras — and some of the stunning headpieces have the ability to be worn other ways. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has one made of diamonds, rubies and spinel that she has worn both as a head-turning necklace and a tiara.
