The Cartier Halo Scroll Tiara that Duchess Kate wore to her wedding is quite the statement piece. Boasting 739 brilliant cut diamonds and an enormous 149 baguette diamonds, it took centre stage at the ceremony, wowing the crowd as it picked up the light. Like much of the royal jewellery, it was handed down by generations: The Queen Mother actually gave it to the Queen as an 18th birthday present, and also lent it to Princess Margaret, before it was worn by Kate.
