I remember reading something about how the diamond drop tiara was addressed in the divorce - something about how Alexandra would keep it in the family and give to Nikolai. But that could have been a supposition.
--Previous Message-- : My dear Tamara, you absolutely spoil us with : these stuning HQs! I really like the Baden : Palmette tiara, and it has such a family : history traveling from some countries until : it is now in Denmark. : : In Denmark we saw some significant pieces go : to minor branches of the family, like the : saphire and the fringe tiaras from Queen : Alexandrine, and still we dont know for sure : about the diamond drop tiara of Countess : Alexandra... : : I feel I must say something, forgive me if I : seem a bit old fashioned, but I feel sad : with the idea that this tiara should go away : from the main line. I really like the way in : that Sweden and the Netherlands royal : families have dealed with this issue. In the : old days princes would marry princesses, who : would bring many glitering wedding gifts or : inheritances to add to the royal vaults (so : it happen with Viktoria of Baden, Margareth : of Connaught...). But today things are : diferent, if the remaining jewels keep on : being spread to minor lines, in one or two : generations there will be not that much left : from the family jewels (with exception to : crown jewels). In Sweden and Netherlands all : the royal ladies can borrow the jewels of : their preference, but the major historic : family pieces remain in the main line and : cannot be sold nor inherited, I think it's : the perfect solution. : This is just my personal opinion of : course... : : : : --Previous Message-- : You are welcome : : I have a feeling that CP Mary will inherit : Aigrette tiara because they do not have : anymore diamond tiaras to go with diamond : crown jewels...and most likely Palmette will : go to Marie..but this is my logical approach : : : : on a second thought...palmette would nicely : complement Mary's wedding tiara...so this : way wedding tiara will be worn as it was : meant to be ...

I love all the blonde or grey : haired royal ladies also, of course, but to : make a tiara show it's magnificence of : details and glitter there is nothing like a : brunette hair... : : Can you imagine how exciting it would be to : imagine (suposing Crown Princess Mary would : "inherit") all the combinations of : this jewel she could do . Time will tell, : as always... : : : : --Previous Message-- : i think it would look so good agains a : darker : hair it kind of blends in with the queens : grey hair. : Not sayong the queen needs to change : haircolour but it will be great to see it : against darker hair : : --Previous Message-- : I never counted how many ways but while ago : I : made this collage to show how many ways you : can wear it... : : : : --Previous Message-- : I do not know what the best name is for the : tiara so used the one i found on Internet : I tiara i really like and how flexible it is : : i would love too see it against a darkr ahir : here is a task for you : : how many ways have the danish queen worn : this tiara both in her hair and as a : coursage : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
