You certainly wouldn’t insult the people of Denmark by dissing their Princess as the tiara wearer in question happens to be Princess Astrid of Norway. The gold tiara set with semi-precious stones, actually a demi parure including matching easrrings and brooch, belonged originally to Astrid’s grandmother, Princess Ingeborg; in the side view, it becomes apparent that the tiara is much wider than it looks from the front. I must say that I find it quite interesting as well; the hairdo and angle at which the tiara is worn by Princess Astrid just don’t do the piece justice, IMHO. --Previous Message-- : : I am not sure what I think of that tiara. I : would not insult the people of Denmark by : dissing their Princess. I just think it is : very strange looking. Also medieval : looking. Would you kindly tell me the : provenance of this unlikely looking head : gear? : --Previous Message-- : Yes TMN Raugravine, that's unusual and looks : like a child's toy. But, it is a real tiara : and not a necklace/bracelet worn as one. I : have to say, I find that tiara to be : interesting, perhaps because I am a fan of : moonstone and also because gold is so rarely : featured as tiara metal. : : Ok, so here is another necklace that doesn't : work for me as a tiara. HM Queen Elisabeth : of The Belgians. In truth, I don't believe : we are seeing a real image here, but this : has been discussed at length with strong : arguments for and against it's authenticity. : Regardless, it is an unusual look. : : : --Previous Message-- : What is THIS????? : : --Previous Message-- : It just shows you that taste is different - : I : think it forms a nice art deco tiara... : : To me - bad examples are: : : The Norwegian amethyst necklace tiara : : The Swedish amethyst necklace tiara : : Princess Lilian's diamond necklace tiara : : Luxembourg turquoise necklace tiara (was : this a necklace? :o) : : : : : : : : : :
