The 6th Duke of Westminster, Gerald Grosvenor, one of the richest men in the world, died recently. We are taking a look at one of the most worn tiaras from the Westminster collection; the Fabergé Myrtle Wreath Tiara. Made in 1906 by the renowned Russian jeweller, it has been worn by many members of the family, and has been loaned to various exhibitions. We covered the tiaras worn by the current Duchess previously.

It was made by Faberge workmaster Albert Holmström, and purchased in 1906 for the wedding of Lord Hugh Grosvenor, a son of the first Duke, and Lady Mabel Crichton, which took place in 1906. Both of their sons became Duke of Westminster because of lack of male heirs in the family.

The Tiara was also worn by her successor, Viola, Duchess of Westminster, at the 1969 State Opening of Parliament. The tiara was also worn by Laura Montagu, now Countess of Burlington, who wore it during a photoshoot when she tried on major pieces of the Westminster collection.
