7. The Wandering Jewel

Wearer: Lady Anne Since 1947, the owner Value Estimate: $2-4 million Few of us are fortunate enough to know someone who was married in 1947 and is still alive today, but the Queen and her spouse go above and beyond. Princess Alice of Greece and Denmark, Elizabeth's mother-in-law, gave her the Meander Tiara back then.

When Anne got married in 2011 and lent it to her own daughter Zara, she wore it to announce her engagement to Captain Mark Phillips. A family treasure in every sense, the Meander tiara is estimated to be worth $2–$4 million.

8. The Tiara of Cubitt-Shand

Wearer: Laura Lopes Since: The early 1900s, the owner Value Estimate: $250,000 The Cubitt-Shand Although the tiara isn't strictly speaking a royal artifact, Camilla, often known as the Duchess of Cornwall, is the owner of it. This diadem belonged to Camilla's own grandmother, Sonia Keppel, not the Queen.

Laura, Camilla's daughter, used it for her 2006 wedding to Harry Lopes. Even though its origins are more aristocratic than imperial, this gorgeous diamond headdress undoubtedly exudes royalty.
