Happy Birthday to Queen Noor al-Hussain of Jordan, who turns 75 today! The accomplished Arab-American who became the fourth wife of the late King Hussein and an influential philanthropist, we have previously covered Queen Noor’s Diamond Sunburst Tiara, and today, we are featuring her Tiffany Diamond Tiara!

In the 1980s, King Hussein of Jordan gave Queen Noor a striking Diamond Ribbon Tiara created by Tiffany, which was inspired by the legendary Ribbon Rosette Necklace created by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co in 1961.
Designed by legendary Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co., the Ribbon Rosette Necklace is an iconic 1961 creation built to showcase the massive 128.54-carat Tiffany Yellow Diamond. It gained global fame when Audrey Hepburn wore it for Breakfast at Tiffany’s publicity photos, and it has since been worn by Lady Gaga and Beyoncé.
Queen Noor Al Hussein debuted the Tiffany Diamond Ribbon Tiara for a ceremony in Amman in November 1985.
The Tiffany Diamond Ribbon Tiara was also worn by Queen Noor on a State Visit to Finland.
More recently, Queen Noor loaned the Tiffany Diamond Ribbon Tiara to her then daughter-in-law, Princess Noor bint Asem, for the the Jordanian State Banquet at the Noordeinde Palace in 2006. We hope to see the Tiara worn again soon!
