Cartier, Boucheron, Fred... Overview of the most beautiful adornments worn by the Queen of the Hashemite Kingdom since her coronation in 1999.


Just over a century after its creation, the Kingdom of Jordan doesn't really feature a royal tape to speak of.

Only a few tiaras passed down from queen to princess or new adornments added over the years by Rania of Jordan.

As the latter prepares to marry Prince Hussein and Princess Iman next year, a look back at her most inspiring head jewelry that could be passed on to the next generation.

Worn, as usual, with a trendy twist.

A young kingdom born from the ups and downs of history and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan celebrated its century of existence last year.

Rare symbol of this young history, often troubled?

The Cartier Halo tiara.

Not to be confused with its 1936 namesake, worn on her wedding day by Kate Middleton and belonging to the British Royal Treasury.

It was King Hussein who gave this exceptional set to his third wife, the very committed Queen Consort Alia Al Hussein, who wore it many times until her death in 1977 in a tragic helicopter accident.

It will be bequeathed as an inheritance to her daughter, Princess Haya who will lend it to Queen Rania at her husband's coronation in 1999. It remains to be seen whether the tiara remained in Rania's possession or

Surely the most emblematic of the modern breath impelled by Rania of Jordan, this tiara imagined by the Boucheron house actually comes from a diamond bracelet, thought to be transformed into a head jewel.

A clean line that the queen has worn on many occasions, notably during the tenth anniversary of the coronation of her husband in 2009 or at the wedding of the princely couple of Sweden in 2010.

Surprisingly little or little is known about this tiara.

It could be mistaken for the Halo tiara, but the tip of the latter reaches greater heights.

Worn in Windsor, during a state banquet in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II, or on one of her official portraits, this floral tiara has never been claimed by any designer or house.

Unlike the so-called "Arab" tiara which was imagined in 2005 by Yan Sicard for Fred, outlining a prayer on a gold and diamond thread.
