Even though it is a gift to Her Majesty, I wonder if the Crown Princess will be given any input into the design. After all, she will be the next wearer & HM is over 70 years old now. --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : Hm. I think that HM might just as well pop a : Faberge flower study on her head and call it : a tiara. The workmanship is lovely, but the : concept of turning the head into a vase is : rather a mistake. : : Flowers as we know are a popular concept for : tiara design, so any issue with transforming : this lovely gift into the said piece of : jewellery makes little sense to me. Not : every tiara needs to be mounted with : diamonds to be worthy of a Queen's favour : and I would rather see what is an : extraordinary gift be utilized for public : display in such a way as this. : : Let us just hope that the design itself is a : flattering one. : : RE : : : :
