The Top Ten: Tiaras at Crown Princess Victoria’s Wedding (#7)

Next up on our countdown of the best tiara moments from Crown Princess Victoria’s 2010 royal wedding is … the diamonds and pearls worn by Infanta Cristina of Spain!

This was one of Infanta Cristina’s last major tiara appearances, thanks to the scandal surrounding her husband, Inaki Urdangarin, and his corruption conviction.

It was also Cristina’s first and only public appearance in a major royal tiara: the diamond and pearl tiara that belonged to her great-grandmother, Queen Ena of Spain.

These days, it’s rare to see this particular tiara worn by a woman who is not a reigning queen, so this outing on Cristina was especially unusual. The tiara was made by Cartier in the 1920s; it was a renovation of one of Queen Ena’s wedding gifts. It was also originally able to be worn with Ena’s emeralds, which were later sold.

Cristina paired the diamond and pearl sparkler with a pair of diamond floral earrings.

Here’s a look at Cristina’s entire ensemble for the royal wedding; you’ll also spot some sparkle on her right wrist!
