--Previous Message-- : So is it possible this tiara (on the left) was : altered into that one (on the right) by just : filling in to make them squares with those : little 'holes' between at four 'corners' of : the Maltese Crosses (or however you spell : it)and add something to these fleurs lilies : (or whatever you call them) to make them : look radically different?? If so, basically : these two tiaras are one and the same, are : they? Or do I get this interpreted entirely : wrong? : : (My picture here and yours there) : : : --Previous Message-- : : I was not going to add to this but have : changed my mind. : We have read that Queen Alexandra had both : the Diamond Diadem and the Regal Circlet : altered for her in 1902. : : If i were in her shoes and later wanted a : grand private piece all my own I think I : would have commissioned something along the : lines of the Diamond Diadem. : Its elements are more substantial and : elegant and the spaces are much smaller. : : : :
