Many of the tiaras the late Queen wore were crafted with diamonds, such as the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara and Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara. But when she wanted a touch of red, the Queen had two famous diadems she could choose from the royal collection.
Burmese Ruby Tiara
The Burmese Ruby Tiara stands out as the Queen’s most-worn ruby diadem, and it was crafted using jewels from another dismantled tiara.
The Queen previously received the Nizam of Hyderabad Tiara as a wedding gift, but she repurposed these diamonds and some rubies from Myanmar, formerly Burma, to create a bespoke floral diadem.
The people of Burma had gifted the Queen 96 rubies when she married in 1947, as they believe rubies offer protection from 96 illnesses people can catch.

Danish Ruby Parure Tiara
Since she married Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark in 2004, Crown Princess Mary has been spotted on several occasions wearing a leafy ruby tiara.
The Danish Ruby Parure Tiara is adorned with diamond-encrusted foliage, interspersed with dazzling ruby gems.
According to the Court Jeweller, the tiara is part of a suite “made for Désirée Clary Bernadotte (later Queen Desideria of Sweden) to wear at the coronation of Napoleon and Joséphine in Paris in 1804.”
