The Kent Pearl Fringe Tiara

The Kent Pearl Fringe Tiara was created in the 1970s by combining Queen Mary’s Diamond Crochet Bandeau with the Pearl and Diamond Fringe Tiara of Princess Louise.

Here's what the Diamond Crochet Bandeau looked like:

The base is the same, but the scrolls have been removed and replaced with a pearl and diamond fringe taken from Princess Louise's pearl and diamond fringe tiara.

Here is Lady Helen Windsor wearing it at her wedding in 1992:
