EMPRESS FARAH DIBA'S EMERALD TIARA
In the Middle-East the marriage of a sovereign is a welcome occasion to have made a precious female jewel and Iran is no exeption! His Majesty Shah Mohammed Reze chose for his bride Farah this extraordinary beautiful wedding gift.
This tiara was designed by Harry Winston, the New York jeweller, and it was considered to be Farah's favorite tiara, since she was often seen wearing it on formal occasions.
There are seven large emeralds who are in total 219 cts (the largest one is 65 cts!) framed by diamonds on top of the tiara.
