    I thought I was the only one not liking the tiara. There is something about the design proportions that look off to me and even though diamonds and sapphires are beautiful together, the tiara seems to appear flimsy on the frame. The tiara as a necklace was a bit better, but it still looks odd to me.

    : I have to agree. Not impressed with the design

    : whiter than white diamonds of equal size
    : with masses of small sapphires makes it even
    : less appealing to me. The earrings? In one

    : I have the faint idea that the tiara with
