8 Budget-Friendly Products That Will Make You Feel Like Royalty

The heirloom named the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara was a favorite of Princess Diana. This iconic diamond and pearl tiara with 19 arches was originally commissioned by Queen Mary in 1913. It has an intricate design and a rich history. It also continues to be an emblem of elegance and grace within the British royal family.

The products we selected may not hold a history that rich, but they certainly will make you feel classy, inspired, and much closer to monarchy.

1. It’s a tiara! This royal symbol can be a perfect fit for your wedding or a themed photoshoot. Or just to make you as happy as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory.

This piece is made of hard alloy and rhinestones. It’s anti-rust, nickel-free, and anti-allergic, which makes it safe to wear.

Promising review:

Very cute and almost like silk, so they’re super comfy. My arms are a bit smaller, so they weren’t a perfect fit, but they still stayed on and weren’t a problem. — Allison

The product comes in a variety of different designs. Its round base and slip-on headband will allow you to enjoy any event with ease. Each and every one of them is made of high-quality materials.

Promising review:

My daughter fell in love with this hat to wear as part of an outfit she was putting together for an event. The polka dots were a perfect complement to her polka dot dress (also purchased on Amazon). It was easy to wear with the attached headband, but we could have easily worn it with the clip that came with it as well. We slid the hat up and down the headband until we found the perfect angle for her. — Stephen

7. Stylish head scarves. It is a versatile product you can wear differently every time, and not only on your head.

It looks magnificent, and for it to stay that way, it is hand-wash only. The material is 100% polyester. There are also a lot of color options to choose from.

Promising review:

This scarf is super cute and does the job! I use it to wrap my hair when I sleep. Makes a world of difference to keep hair nice if you don’t wash it every day. I wash 2x a week, so this is a must in between washes, so I don’t wake up with crazy, untamable hair. — Brittany Sansburn

8. Low-key but dazzling jewelry. These pieces will complete your outfit and look fresh while not stealing all the attention.

The earrings, with blue sapphire gemstones, are crafted of 925 sterling silver and are nickel and tarnish-free. They come in a charm gift box, which is perfect for any gift-giving occasion.

Promising review:

What sparkly earrings! They pass for the real thing quite nicely. I have real sapphires that look less sparkly and real—in other words, my real sapphires look fake next to these! The color of the “sapphires” is perfect—a blend of midnight and ocean blues.
The white CZ stones are a good approximation of diamonds. They don’t quite look the same, but they glitter nicely, and when you’re wearing the earrings, no one is (presumably) close enough to be able to tell the difference. The size of these is noticeable but not gaudy; they’re much smaller than Princess Di’s honking engagement ring, which, let’s not kid ourselves, is what these are designed after.
These are a bit on the dressier side, in my estimation, but who cares if you wear them with jeans? Have fun with them! They’re glamorous, elegant, and just gorgeous. And they look really expensive! — Nynaeve
