I mean no harm to neither the fellow or gal that designed that odd thing, nor to its owner 
I simply have trouble appreciating these kinds of head ornaments.

: Unkind voices like yours labeled the
: aquamarine bandeau the 'cyclops tiara'.
:
: Perhaps this caused a tendency of Princess
: Madeleine to sometimes bury it in her hair
: and to wear it as far up on her head as
: possible :

: Both are very odd contraptions: they
: resemble
: a fish's open mouth and in the swedish case
: one with a bugg trapped inside.

: It has always been said that the aquamarine
: bandeau tiara, Princess Madeleine's 18th
: birthday gift from her parents, was worn by
: Queen (then Crown Princess) Louise in the
: 1920s and 30s, although I've never found an
: original, reliable source for this
: information.
: Style-wise, it would certainly make sense to
: date it back to the 1920s and worn low on
: the forehead.

: It looks very "modern" - not 19th
: century at all. Perhaps there was something
: contained in it. It also looks like a
: single-strand diamond necklace mounted on a
: frame - ?
:
: And BTW, was Princess Madeleine's tiara once
: owned by CP Margaretha? I confess that also
: seemed very modern to me (although I know
: that she had a lot of "new"
: jewelry, as opposed to existing family
: pieces).

: Thankx to Mia who posted this link in the
: thread about the Garnet & Diamond
: Kokoshnik Tiara of the late Countess of
: Rosenborg I spent some hours looking after
: interesting jewels.
:
: I found this tiara, quite nice and fit for a
: young princess. Elisabeth, Amalia,...??
:
: It reminds me of the small diamond and
: aquamarine tiara from Sweden.

: I confess that I don't find the above tiara,
: or ones like it, to be at all appealing.
:
: I think it has a tendancy to look unfinished
: and I really do not like the spacing between
: either row.
:
: It also reminds me somewhat of the tiara
: worn by Princess Madeleine to the Danish
: Crown Princely wedding in 2004. And even
: with the central aquamarine, that tiara too
: failed to allure my attention for the right
: reasons. Really uninspiring I thought and a
: "waste" of a good stone.
