Queen Mary's Fringe Tiara

Originally, it was a transformable tiara-necklace, made by Collingwood, a wedding present from Queen Victoria to Princess May of Teck in 1893. In 1919, May, now Queen Mary, sent it to Garrard for alterations. Queen Mary bequeathed it to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who in turn loaned it to Princess Elizabeth for the royal wedding of 1947. It belonged to the Queen Mother for her lifetime, but she rarely wore it. She lent it to her granddaughter, Princess Anne, for her wedding in 1973. The Queen inherited the piece on her mother's death in 2002. The Queen has worn it for official portraits and it was lent to Princess Beatrice of York for her quarantined wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in the summer of 2020.

Sometimes it is called the "George III fringe" or the "Hanoverian fringe." The George III, or Hanoverian, fringe was a necklace/tiara that Queen Mary sometimes wore, but it is a distinct piece. It is also often confused with or mistaken for Queen Adelaide's Sunray Diadem.
