Is this a gift to her directly or a loan for her exclusive use (like Pcess Mary's midnight tiara)?

: As you can read in the first post from EricS
: in the tiara's description, the base is made
: of cabochon amethysts.
: Amethysts are also dangling at the bottom of
: the earrings.

: I find them odd too, like an afterthought to
: lend the tiara more substance; they're
: disconnected from the flowers above, and I
: don't quite understand why amethysts weren't
: used in the flowers as well (perhaps in the
: stamens) in order to make the design more
: cohesive.

: I actually wonder why Princess Marie didn't

: with everyone else choosing their less grand
: jewelry, it would have been a fitting
: occasion to do so.
