The Vladimir tiara has a star turn in the new film.
There are some great jewels in the royal vaults. How did you choose the Vladimir?
For all the royal jewels depicted in the movie, we wanted pieces that the audience might recognize from our current royals that also worked in terms of style and proportion for the costumes. We were careful to choose pieces that were owned and in the possession of the characters depicted wearing them at the time.The replica royal jewelry was made by my model maker Martin Adams. It was a painstaking process to make each as faithfully as possible and took many hours.
When fitted with its pendant emeralds, the Vladimir tiara forms part of a parure of jewelry collectively referred to as the Cambridge Emeralds, which for the film comprises tiara, necklace, earrings, bracelet, and brooch. The tiara is composed of fifteen intersecting circular components, set on a base ring and linked with an undulating band, all cast in lead-free pewter, mounted, and electroplated in silver. Swarovski foil-backed stones represent the diamonds.
For this version of the tiara, the circles are set with a total of just over 370 main stones, the base ring with approximately 92, and the"waves" are set with around 150. These range from 8mm diameter down to 3mm. In the original tiara, there are tiny stones that fill the gaps where every circular stone meets its neighbor, and range from 2mm diameter down to less than half a millimeter across. In the entire tiara, these total approximately a further 1,200 stones.
