Luxury jeweller Bentley & Skinner are renting out Lady Mary's original 45-carat diamond wedding tiara
Downton Abbey fans, it’s time to get very excited.
Described on the luxury jeweller’s site as a ‘Georgian diamond tiara’ boasting ‘a spray of leaves and floral clusters, pavé-set throughout with old-cut diamonds’, the Downton Abbey scene-stealer can also be converted into two brooches.
But Lady Mary-style glamour doesn’t come cheap – with a hire price of £1,250 a day (plus a £125,000 deposit), the pricey period piece won’t be affordable to the masses.
Also up for grabs on Bentley & Skinner’s hire site is Dame Maggie Smith’s tiara from the same episode, with an even heftier daily rental sum of £5,700.
Still, for the chance to sparkle like aristocracy for the day, we say it’s well worth the investment.
