That was the amazing and breathtaking Cartier exibition I saw some years ago. I couldn't buy the catalogue then, I'm sure it must be fabulous . --Previous Message-- : At the catalogue "Cartier 1899 – 1949. : The Journey of a style." Calouste : Gulbenkian Foundation. Lisbon 2007, p. 115, : the belgium Cartier Tiara is noted as 5,05 : cm, the Essex as 8,05 cm (p. 107). Based on : the fact that the nulls are a mistake (would : be very unusual to mention a 1/10 mm in that : case), the Essex is three cm higher. Indeed : a difference. : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : : : : : : : : : : :
