Another tiara in the Egyptian royal collection, as displayed in the Musée des bijoux de la famille royale Egyptienne, in almost exactly the same swirl design, can be seen at http://royale.freehosting.net/

: 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.

: We all know that the Khedivé of Egypt gave
: the
: Cartier tiara to Princess Margaret of
: Connaught on her wedding to the Prince
: Gustaf Adolf of Sweden.
:
: 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.
:
: Here is the jewel from the Egyptian RF
: collection:
