Glad you agree with me Boris . I also share your views on the swedish amethysts: stunning as necklace, very nice as tiara/diadem just as long as the base is hidden... --Previous Message-- : IMHO this is not a controversial view as I : share it. : QE II's sapphire tiara has basically the : same issues as the Norwegian amethist tiara : - I believe we're just so used to its sight : that the 'upside down necklace' effect isn't : as apparent as it would be when seeing the : piece for the first time. : Princess Louise also wore it as a corsage : ornament to great effect. : : The verdict about the Napoleonic amethyst : necklace/tiara in Sweden I have to disagree : with though. I'd definitely file it under : 'The Good' albeit it has to be placed : carefully and backed up by a good hairdo due : to a (unnecessarily) clumsy base - a major : current problem with Court Jeweller Bolin's : designs. : As a necklace, it is cumbersome and chunky, : as a circlet tiara I like it very much - a : good decision on Queen Silvia's part IMHO. : : Below: Queen Silvia wearing the tiara (which : remains convertible) in 2004, and Princess : Margaretha wearing the necklace at her : brother's pre-wedding concert in 1976: : : : : --Previous Message-- : I know this one might be controversial, but : it's my personal opinion... : Queen Elizabeth's saphire tiara, that was a : necklace from Pss Louise of Belgium. I find : it so much better as a necklace than as a : tiara. : : I would'nt call it bad nor plain ugly but as : a necklace I find it a stunning piece, a : really grand necklace, as a tiara I don't : find it's design that much appealing... : : Another point is that I think the design of : this piece does not match totally the : superb, plain and elegant design of the : Queen's saphire set, a really gorgeous set. : : : : http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/the-queen-wearing-a-sapphire-and-diamond-tiara-and-necklace-news-photo/52102323 : : : : --Previous Message-- : : JohnPete - is this the type of thing you had : in mind? : : : : : : :
