Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, just about to begin her wedded life, was the Queen Mother before she was ever the Queen Mother. After buying the Strathmore Rose Tiara from Catchpole and Williams in 1923, her parents gave it to her.

With its two frames and band of diamond flowers, the wearer can choose to wear it higher up or on their forehead. Its ability to divide into brooches was greatly admired by the Queen Mother. Nobody other has donned the eye-catching item. Long before she became Queen Mother herself, the Queen Mother herself stored it away.
The sculpture from the 1920s is a great representation of the era's style, but we would really want to see it now. The only evidence we have is photos of the Queen Mother wearing it during her heyday. Seeing a younger royal give it some attention now would be fantastic.
