During their wedding ceremony at Istana Nurul Iman on 14 January, which took place in the capital of Brunei, Bandar Seri Begawan, the bride looked particularly stunning in a sparkling diamond tiara. Originally crafted for the prince's sister, Princess Azemah Ni'matul Bolkiah, for her wedding in January 2023, this magnificent piece of jewellery was a custom design by our very own homegrown Singaporean bespoke jeweller, Flower Diamond.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it took eight months to complete, from the initial design and diamond sourcing to the careful finishing touches. The tiara boasts an impressive total of 838 diamonds, featuring various cuts such as round brilliant, square, pear, and oval shapes, amounting to over 132 carats! Now, that's truly remarkable!

Even though the tiara has a large number of diamonds, Flower Diamond ensured it still appears modern and light-weighted, as per Princess Azemah's wishes. The tiara was then adjusted with precision to perfectly suit the new bride for their wedding.
