Can we all have a good look at the photos of the 4 weddings where this necklace/bracelet was used as a tiara & give our opinions? The photos I have of Josephine-Charlotte in 1953 do not have good definition & look as if it is only 2 rows of diamonds not 3 in her tiara - hence perhaps it could be the bracelet not the necklace that she is wearing. Then, although the photos I have from the 1981 wedding of Maria Teresa & the 1982 wedding of Margaretha have better definition, they both look as if they are wearing tiaras with 2 rows of diamonds with a gap in between. Some of my photos of Marie-Astrid at her wedding in 1982 does look as if she has a tiara with 3 rows of diamonds but it looks as if the middle row is set back from the outer 2 rows of round collet diamonds to give emphasis to the size of the collets. It would be great to have some better photos of the necklace than those auction ones as they don't show what appears to happen when the necklace is worn --Previous Message-- : She is clearly wearing necklace as a tiara in : the red dress photo...If you look at it : closely, tiara has "round" : diamonds on each side and center is baguette : diamonds...however, bracelet has only one : row of round diamond on one side and : baguette diamond on the other : : : --Previous Message-- : Ellow, : : I have still a question about the tiara worn : by the late Grand-Duchess of Luxemburg : during her wedding in 1953. : : She wore 2 tiaras during her : wedding-pictures, the Belgian Scroll Tiara : and the Congo Tiara : : : : http://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2012/04/wedding-wednesday-grand-duchess.html : : But could it be that she did wore the : bracelet as tiara, because when you look : quite good, it seems that she wore the : neclace as necklace during the whole : ceremony and only changed the Bracelet-Tiara : into the Scroll Tiara. : : A picture of the late Grand-Duchess wearing : the Congo Tiara (bracelet or necklace?) : : : : A picture from the auction: : : : : :
