Would it be possible to adapt this piece to a suitable frame and turn it into a small tiara to be worn on the top on the head instead of the forehead? Its not an ugly piece, I think it would look so much better and it would became so much "wearable". The jewel could remain convertible to bracelet when removed from the frame, we know of several of such examples.
