HISTORY OF THE STATE CROWN

Historical Timeline of Queen Elizabeth's Favorite Crown!

Own A Piece Of History….
Create A Legacy!

Every Contestant Receives This Crown Along With A Embroidered Satin Sash And Title Representing Her Area!

Experience the glamour and allure of one of the most majestic tiaras from the British Monarchy! Our exclusive “Royal Inspiration” crown is a striking replica of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s tiara known as the “Girls of Great Britain and Ireland”.

In 1893 the tiara was given to the future Queen Mary as a wedding gift when she married the future King George V. The diamond tiara was purchased from Garrard, the London Jeweler by a committee headed by Lady Eve Greville who raised more than 5000 pounds. The surplus monies were given to a charity fund, on Queen Mary's own request, benefiting the widows and orphans of men lost at sea during the sinking of the HMS Victoria. Later Queen Mary replaced the pearl finials with diamonds and removed the bandeau from the base so it could be worn as a headband.

When Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Philip in 1947, Queen Mary gave the tiara to her as a wedding gift. In 1967, the bandeau was reunited with the tiara. Today, the tiara is a favorite piece of jewelry and is worn prominently by Queen Elizabeth II at state occasions and appears on commonwealth stamps and currencies.

Contestant's Crown

In the spirit of this historic tiara, the Ms. America® Pageant commissioned an updated full circle replica crown that is made with Austrian Crystals and Silver Plated. Surround yourself with glamour with this exclusive masterpiece!
