The sapphire tiara of Queen Alexandra's younger sister Empress Marie Feodorovna would indeed be a great choice for The Duchess of Cambridge to wear. Personally, I never cared much for the Cartier tiara - partly just a matter of own taste, but perhaps also because it was originally meant to be worn at a 'halo' angle and gives a somewhat dim impression when worn in the regular tiara manner. The sapphire tiara on the other hand strikes me as charming and elegant as well as substantial enough without being overpowering in size; IMHO, one of the most desirable Windsor pieces to see the light of day again. --Previous Message-- : I'm hoping for the sapphire bandeau worn by : Queen Mary and Princess Margaret- perhaps : with some of Princess Diana's sapphire : jewellery? : : --Previous Message-- : We all know about reliableness of press : article but for this is an official : commonwealth visite gala events are very : likely.
