Lady Margaret is pictured here with her husband, Sir Bryan Leighton, 9th Baronet, on the the occasion of being summoned to court on 6th March 1914.

By family tradition, this tiara was originally designed in the late nineteenth century as a much larger and more imposing pearl and diamond ornament. It was composed of several large daisy motifs as a compliment to the name Margaret (Marguerite) and particularly to her family nickname 'Daisy'. This first tiara was then redesigned circa 1920, as the present jewel, retaining the original and pertinent daisy motif.
