Thank you very much for the additional info. I'd say that this is most likely the case with the 'beads' here - it would be great to see the 'new' tiara in daylight one day in order to clearly determine the difference in colors. --Previous Message-- : --Previous Message-- : The beads on top of the 'new' Bernadotte : tiara : definitely appear to have a darker shade : than the other parts, and looking at the : backside of the haircomb, Tamara's theory of : shadow and light might not hold up. : Still, I don't exactly see onyx here : either... could it be the 'beads' are made : of steel as well but were simply treated : seperately and differently, or that they : have a different alloy / coating in order to : make them stand out more? : : Yes, that could be. Steel beads were : produced in various shades throughout the : 19th century, imitating different metals as : copper or gold as well as surprisingly : strong colours such as bright yellow, green : or purple. :
