This is one of the best jewel remodels imho. Interesting that Pr. Theodora omits the top pearl. On her open face I don't miss it. On Marie-Chantal (non wedding picture) the extra top detail adds importance. I can't tell if the top pearl is present in Marie-Chantal's wedding picture and if she wears the matching earrings. Interesting how different women/faces change the feel of the jewel. If only all reigning houses had a jeweler who was as sensative in re-modeling. I still am sad for the Sohpie Wessex wedding tiara. Is there a new thread here? Wonderful and good remodels? (I'm not thinking or suggesting to rediscuss Pr Mary's ruby tiara.) What others are there? --Previous Message-- : Lovely photos Tamara. : : I think it is indeed the stomacher made into : a Tiara. The original seem to have three : 'sections' let say.
