Unfortunately it was just a collection of photos of the Egyptian RF jewels, but not many information on them. I will look more to find more information and post them, if I find something.

: Thank you Carlo for posting all the lovely
: photos and reposting my cropped image of my
: favorite Khedive tiara
:
: I always thought of "swirls" as
: eternity symbol...and I just searched and
: found the definition of Egyptian swirls,
: which is the universal pattern of growth and
: evolution...in this case, when it was
: presented to CP Margaret during her wedding,
: I believe that symbolically it meant
: "Eternal love"...it is beautifully
: designed tiara by Cartier.
:
: Can you tell me who designed the 1st tiara
: you posted? The swirls are flipped and the
: overall heavy look of the tiara gives me
: impression that it might not be Cartier.

: I recently bought the fabulous DVD in two
: episodes about the Royal Jewels of Denmark,
: Sweden, Russia and Great Britain and I
: followed once more the story of this tiara,
: very interesting.
:
: The pattern of the tiara must have a
: significance for Egyptian culture or
: religion, because I found a photo of a jewel
: of the Egyptian RF with the same motif.
