What always amazed me is how this tiara ever stayed balanced on her head. It looks like this one has the same "skinny" base where round diamonds from 9 province tiara were used for a base, which are absolutely unnecessary,in my opinion...
However, even if the floral part was made out of platinum let's say, still, this is too much metal and diamonds for it to be so high without having any substantial base to support it, and especially as high as she wore it...maybe that's why we never saw this combination again? must have been very uncomfortable to wear.
Its very awkward design for a tiara...very chopped look from the sides..which to me looks like would better fit as a necklace.
