    I've had the previledge to view Queen Elizabeth's tiara at close on a Cartier exibition some years ago, and I can tell tou that it is really a very beautiful and delicate piece.
    I was surprised by it's small size in diameter, by picture I've always thought it would be bigger, but images can sometimes be misleading.
    I believe the tiara was made at the express wish of the Queen, so I assume it would fit her head size perfectly (HM was not very tall, she seemed very delicate).
