Essex tiara is definitely quite large..and quite lovely lol....It is similar in design with my favorite Khedive tiara
--Previous Message-- : You are right Tamara, it's a matter of : proportion of sizes. I also had the : impression that this was a big tiara because : I'd see Queen Elizabeth's pictures wearing : it, and it really looked like a more : substantial tiara on her. And that's why I : was so surprised with the tiara's size when : I saw it live, such a small piece, but then : again a very, very elegant and beautiful : piece. : : On the otherhand, on that same exibition was : displayed the Essex tiara, worn by Lady : Churchill at the 1953 coronation and by Pss : Margaretha of Romania as bridal tiara, and : this one was much bigger in hight and : diameter than I was expecting. The Essex is : what I call a really big tiara. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Henri...I believed what you said about : 5.5cm...I did see the link..thanks : : I was just making comment that probably in : future discussion we have to take in account : that every wearer of the tiara is different : height and shape, which surely alters the : look of the jewel. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : The height of 5,5 cm is mentioned on the : site : of Cartier. The photo will appear when you : go the link, click on it for a description. : : : : : : : :
