This beautiful Tiara was actually commissioned during the reign of the Qajar Dynasty (1779-1925 A.D.) Princess Fatemeh of the Pahlavi Dynasty, one of the sisters of the last Shah of Iran, favored to wear the tiara on several occasions.

Its basic design is of a sunburst, with a 25 ct. pink spinel in the center. Each ray ends in a diamond blossom with a single pearl or emerald. The emeralds have holes in them which are covered with small diamonds. The holes suggest that the emeralds were previously used in other pieces. The largest emerald is 20 cts.

The design of this tiara was more commonly used in aigrettes in the second half of the 19th century, and so the origins of this tiara may be attributed to that time. Height: 7.2 cm.
