- I was so nervous to replicate Queen Victoria's iconic emerald tiara but I am so happy (and shocked) that it worked so well! And now cannot wait to be able to pair it with my upcoming Met Gala dress too 🥰
I'm going to be honest with you, making crowns is becoming an obsession now. They are so gosh darn pretty and they might be making a regular appearance on the channel so I really hope you like them! 😅
Let me know in the comments if there are any crowns you would like to see me make in the future, I'm super curious to see what ones you guys love!

tip!! when making gem clusters you could print or draw the template and put it under the clingfilm!!!
You are a genius. I cannot believe that never occurred to me but wire shape did 😂 I will take that forward for next time, thank you
@@MadameMyriad omg right! My thoughts exactly!!
Absolutely excellent idea!!
I was thinking the same thing. Also I would set the emeralds in when the glue was partially solid after around 4 hours so they would have sat up right.
Edit: I promise this isn’t criticism just back seat crafting. 😂
I was thinking the same thing while i watched the video!
The algorithm brought me here and I am DELIGHTED. Well done! A beautiful tiara and love your sense of humour and showing the *STRUGGLES* of crafting! 😍💕💕💕
Aww thank you so much 🥰 I do like to share the struggles, and only partly because when I do everyone gives really great tips to avoid said struggles 😅
Yes me too this is the first one i have seen, i love the content brilliant.
To stick the stones, you can use gel nail material, which dries with UV light. can become more stable and resistant😊 in love with this project ❤❤
Thank you 🖤 The UV stuff sounds great, I’ll look into it for next time ☺️
Or just use a drop of UV resin? I use gel polish on a regular based and it does wear down, break down over time. UV resin is more solid and minutes to cure with a UV lamp or UV torch
I'm perfectly flabbergasted by the totally candid manner you managed your way out of such a difficult, technically specific and time consuming project. These things require a team of jewellers for litteraly months (if not years) to achieve, and you copied it all by yourself in a matter of days. I've worked in high end jewellery for years, so I can tell you this was a BRAVE undertaking of yours. If I may give some advice, you should definitely invest in buying bare settings for your gems (either plain or hollow ones) to make the glueing phase less tricky. The tiaras are just that in the beginning : arrangments of different settings shaped in different designs and welded / microscopically screwed together. Then comes the gem setting phase : by carefully chipping some tiny weeny 'prongs' inside the setting case, the setter can then set the gem and ply the prongs on top of it to secure it in place. Not for the faint hearted, when you know the price of the gems involved in this process. Unfortunately, making it that way requires quite a lot of tools that can be very expensive. You could bypass this by using already made jewellery pieces that you can use as 'spare parts' (costume jewellery and specially brooches are a pretty useful resource / some suppliers like cupchain USA sell new empty settings, too). Some blank brooch bases have tiny holes (the ones for stitching an embroidered item to it), that could be useful to thread your fiddly friend through it. Also a solder gun could prove more effective than cyanoacrylic glue in the long term, although it requires a bit of practice. It's less toxic, that's a real plus point for you and your lungs. Anyway, as long as you're having fun while creating your tiaras, and in love with the end result, it's all that matters. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us all.
Thank you so much 🖤 I never would have considered making the settings first, it’s sounds challenging but I kind of want to try it that way now.
The real tiara’s bases are wrapped in velvet ribbon matching the wearer’s hair. That might solve your base showing problem.
Thank you, I think I do have some scrap pieces of velvet so I might give it a go 🥰
My goodness!!!! What an artist ypu are!!!! zi can’t believe you sat down and actually made it!! It looks just like the original!!!❤❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️ B R A V O !!!!!!
She said ribbon ,it's got a finished edge. You might try stretch or bias and finish the edge with a tiny zigzag stitch to stop fraying. You don't want velvet or velveteen fraying off a crown
I bought some velvet cording online that matched my hair for the replica of the Spencer tiara I bought.
You actually crafted this beautiful Victorian tiara, I am beyond impressed and loved the video. The algorithm also drifted me here.
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot! 🖤 I’m glad the algorithm has drifted so many people here! I do hope to make many more crowns but I’m definitely going to pace myself as there are so many other fantasy and sewing projects I really want to make as well 😊
Well, I REALLY didn't need another project but.. now I must have a tiara!! I think I would cover the hairband in velvet and sew the first row on
Ooo that’s a good idea, I couldn’t think how to add those velvet bases that real tiaras have, although I think I would have to do that as the very last step and add the bottom row at the end because… glue😂
You can pour boiling water over your cutting mat to make to lay flat again (also helps to reform the cutting surface so you have fewer cuts that interrupt the surface).
Ooo thank you I’ll try it, there are a LOT of cuts in it too so hopefully it’ll get some of its life back 😄
I've always loved that tiara in paintings of Queen Victoria. You did a great job, in spite of "fiddly".
It is one of my favourites from her reign 🖤 thank you ☺️
I watched the whole video and yet I still cannot believe you made it by hand!! I love everything about this.
Aww thank you 🥰
You and Austin Do are KILLING the historical DIY-tiara reproduction game. Immediately subscribed when the algorithm brought me here! Super excited to check out your other vids (that easter bonnet one👀)
Thank you so much 🥰 Austin Do is actually the reason I made my first one!
I hope you enjoy my other projects, although I feel the need to warn you the Easter bonnet was my first ever video 😂
Your crowns look awesome! You should do the fringe tiara Elizabeth ii wore on her wedding day, and make it convertible into a necklace like the real one!
Wait what?! It’s convertible? That was already on my list but it just got bumped a whole lot higher 😂 thank you 🖤
@@MadameMyriadthere are a few tiaras in the crowns collection that are convertible you could try making queen victorias emerald necklace that was also commissioned by Prince Albert
You should make Empress Eugénie’s Pearl and Diamond Tiara next, it's one of my favorites!
It’s so beautiful 🖤 I’ve never seen a tiara with such big pearls, it’s giving real mermaid vibes 😄
This is amazing! I hope this becomes a regular series. MORE CROWNS AND TIARAS!
Aww thank you 🥰 due to very popular demand I am reworking my project schedule to fit more in this year 😅
I am absolutely amazed with how good this looks!! 😱 I wish it was socially acceptable for everyone to wear crowns every day (like in ancient China with their silver hair crowns) so that I had a reason to make this and opportunity to show it off constantly 😂
I vote we all just start wearing them and they will slowly make their way back, I also think we should do this for cloaks 😋
This is amazing. Love it. I would never be able to attempt something like this because I have no strength in my hands anymore. You did an awesome job.
Thank you so much 🖤 I think the most strength goes into making the base structure, not tonnes but I can definitely see where it would be difficult , after that it just gets incredibly fiddly adding all the stones
As a theater director that wears all the hats, I'm going to make a crown one of these days for a king or queen! Thanks!
That’s so cool, please share it when you do 🖤☺️
love i am begging for more tiara and crown content - subscribed for the crowns, staying for the met gala dress video!
Aww thank you, I don’t think I’ll leave as along as a gap between them this time 😄
I cannot believe all the glue... never ever thought it could work!! Well done
Me either! I will never again doubt glue 🤌🏻🖤
Making more tiaras? Well then, SUBSCRIBED!
Please do the iconic “Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara” someday or my personal favorite, the “Delhi Durbar Tiara”.
Me too!😀
I was actually looking at those last night! Already building my list up again 😂 Definitely going to get everyone to vote for me again when I do my next one, I can’t choose between them all for the life of me!
Ooof-- I think the costuming channels have had more than enough drama on the topic of the Delhi Durbar regalia. Let's not start THAT again.
Oooo! Queen Victoria's Indian Circlet, but with the original opals instead of the replacement stones. I've always wished it were in its original form, the way Prince Albert designed it. You would likely have the only opal version!
I just read up on its entire history and I’m hooked, it would be so cool to do it with the original stones and unaltered design! 🖤🖤
Uv nail gem glue could be a big help attaching gems I. The future as it is strong and sets completely clear. Hope that helps
Thank you, I’ll look into it as an upgrade for future projects, people do say good things about that stuff 😊
Beautiful work of art!!! Love watching people doing crafty hobbies❤
Thank you! 😊
well now you kinda have to make the matching earrings and necklace, right?
just imagine how pretty that would look * - *
I almost did those with this video but couldn’t justify the cost of the larger stones 😂 Would genuinely love to complete the set one day though!
I was in the comments to say the same thing 😂
Uv resins and gel nail products would make your projects a lot easier. This tiara is really pretty. I felt so bad for you though getting that glue all stuck on your fingers.
I subbed 👑
Definitely looking into it for an upgrade 😄 Thank you, all the skin on my fingers was ripped for about a week afterwards, I’m not as careful as I should be with glue 😂
Wow.....the Queen of Crowns. 👑 such talent & patience you have. Trial & error comes with DIY....little alcohol pads may help with glued fingers.....beautiful
Oh thank you!🖤🥹 Thank you for the tip! That’s a really smart idea, I wouldn’t have thought to do that 😂
@@MadameMyriadalso, if your glued finguies happen due to a cyanoacrylate based super glue, you can dissolve it a little bit with acetone based nail Polish remover 👍🏼 loved the vid!
Thank you for the tip, I definitely need to get some with my glue track record 😄
@@MadameMyriad us crafty girlies need to stick together
This is a great show please show us more ways to do this. Thank you Dear for showing all of us.🥰
Thank you so much 🖤 I have so many idea to experiment with different methods of making them, I can’t wait to try out some new materials going forward 😁
The algorithm brought me here and I love your work! I hope you do more tiaras in the future!
Thank you so much!! Glad you made it here and enjoyed it! I definitely will be making more in the future!! Not sure how often they’ll be because I have SO MUCH that I want to make in terms costuming and sewing projects, but I already have a big list of historical and fantasy themed crowns that I really want to make at some point! I’d love for you to stick around!! ☺️
Your face suits historical looks so well. You were made to wear tiaras!
The highest compliment, thank you 😄🥰
🤗👑👑👑 the color of that crown is beautiful
I am obsessed with it 😍 emerald has always been one of my favourite stones
Oh my gosh!!!! This is so awesome!
Aww thank you ☺️🖤
It came out wonderfully!
Thank you 😊🖤
Absolutely stunning! I’d love to see you recreate Princess Margaret’s tiara that she wore when she was photographed the bath.
Oh that’s a good one! Thanks for the suggestion 🖤

Thank you 🥰
What a fun hobby and you’ve done such a great job. Bravo
Thank you so much! 🥰
Thank youuuuu algorithm! Holy smokes this is stunning work!
Haha thank you! 😅🖤
Just the base alone after Day 2 was pretty, and the finished crown turned out fabulous.
Aww thank you ☺️ I have to admit I did get nervous around day two in case adding more ruined it where it was starting to look good 😅
I’m impressed! And touched the you responded so kindly to people who commented on your video.
Aww thank you ☺️ honestly I’m touched by how many people have taken the time to comment, all the support has meant so much to me 🖤
Love it!!
Thank you!! ☺️
This is incredible!!!! Ohmygod, the craftsmanship!!!
Thank you, that’s so kind to say 🥰
Wow what an amazing job!! Well done! 🤩✨
As someone who’s spent hours at work staring at the actual tiara, in the Jewel Room at Kensington Palace (where it lives, not the V&A), my only criticism is that yours is set in silver rather than gold and seems quite a bit taller than the original - though that’s probably down to the limitations of your materials.
A lovely video showing it clearly is here on TH-cam called ‘Preparing Tiaras for the Victoria Revealed Exhibition.’
But again, well done! 💗
Oh wow that’s crazy, you work there?! I definitely didn’t realise it wasn’t at the V&A so I appreciate you filling in that gap for me 😬 Thank you for the kind words and the specific tips are really nice to receive, genuinely!! 🥹Yeah it was definitely an availability thing. I did notice it was gold initially but I still had a fair amount of silver wire and gem chains left from my first crown. Thank you again so much!!
I LOVED YOUR ENDEAVOURS OF CREATING MAGIC
Thank you so much! They are definitely becoming something I HAVE to do again!!
Have you considered using a soldering iron with lead free solder? Copper tape used in stained glass could be useful in making "settings" for your stones. You can join parts with solder instead of glue.
I’ve been thinking about maybe upgrading to a soldering iron one day, but the copper tape for settings is genius, that never would have occurred to me, thank you 😄
WOW!! Absolutely incredible!! So so beautiful! You did a great job! 👏👏👏
You are making me interested in crown -making!
Thank you!
Haha once you start you won’t be able to stop 👑👑👑
You did such a good job. Great work.
Thank you so much ☺️🖤
You are welcome! @@MadameMyriad
So beautiful
Thank you so much 🥰
i love it!!!!! wow!!!!!
Thank you 🥰
Amazing!!!!
Thank you 🥰
What beautiful work. They would be a beautiful wedding tiara.
Thank you 🥰🖤
You did such a beautiful job, now I need to add another project to my already very very full list! It’s so pretty!
Thank you ☺️ Yess, do it! It’s so much fun 🖤
You did a fantastic job on both! 😊
Thank you! 🥰
Now you *have* to create Queen Victoria's Coronet!!! Have you ever seen the movie, "The Young Victoria" ?
PS. Have you ever thought about making Queen Susan or Lucy's coronation crown? Or Lady Galadriel's elven crown? Would be sooo beautiful as a fantasy project!
I haven’t but I’ve really been meaning to watch all of the period films surrounding the monarchy, I feel like it’s a fair sized list at this point
Oh. My. Gowd! How did I not think of that, I was obsessed with the coronation designs in Narnia! That is so going on my list!
And Galadriel is on my make list in general but I’m waiting for my hair to grow back so I don’t need to use a wig 😂
@@MadameMyriad Yay! Narnia and Galadriel crowns! I love Susan's crown, ahhh, so so so pretty.....
This was so good, I cant wait to try this in summer break. You are a beauty
Thank you so much!! Hope you have fun 🖤
For the green stones, maybe also try making a flat chain of circle loops by looping and twisting. This will give a round wire base to stick the stones to. Glue will then have multiple points of contact with the stone. Lovely work. Lots of work.
That’s a great idea! Thanks for the tip 😁🖤
Absolutely loved this video great job it’s so beautiful
Thank you so much!! 🥰🖤
Her majesty, the queen of tiaras 👸
Haha yes, I accept this new title 😂🖤
It's beautiful you did a great job
I love it
Thank you! That’s so sweet to say ☺️
Interesting process ! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Amazing job!! You have encouraged me to try this! You struggled but you really make it look easy. I’m so happy I found this! Thank you for sharing
Thank you! They are so fun to make (and wear), if it helps I linked the materials I used in my first tiara video 😊 hope you enjoy it!
I really love your personality and I never thought a video like this existed I’m so happy my yt actually recommended me something worth watching this time lol 💞
Thank you so much!!☺️ I’m glad you enjoyed the project🖤
you've made it great cant wait for the DIAMOND DIADEM or George iv diadem
YESSS!!! I think it’s going to be a tough one but I do REALLY want to at some point!!
@@MadameMyriad well even I'm also a great fond of victorian stuff.
Soooo I've prepared a diadem from the materials available here in India..
You can cover the base wires with thin velvet ribbon that you glue from front to back, it won’t damage your hair either when the metal is covered.
That’s a good idea, thank you ☺️
MORE CROWNS!!!!!!!!
YOU GOT IT!!!!! 🥰
beautiful.
Thank you!☺️
WOW! This is a GREAT project! Lots of good tips like arranging the clusters in glue. I am definitely going to try that! I make tiaras out of shells, I live in Santa Barbara. But being a sewer and a crafter I have lots of gems too! Simply stunningly gorgeous result, by the way. Enjoy it for a long time!
Thank you so much!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! I love the concept of making tiaras with shells! I’ve been trying to think of more fantasy styles crown/tiara designs so it could be really cool to try out 🤔
You look gorgeous. Keep up the tutorials. Queen Victoria is one of my favorite Monarchs.
Thank you so much!! 🖤
So beautiful Pitch Perfect
Thank you so much 🥰
Gorgeous
Thank you ☺️
