Joye what bracelet are you refering to please? As far as I know the thin diamond bandeau as always been worn "as bandeau". It was a favourite piece of the late Duchess Dona Maria Francisca. In fact it's the only diamond head ornament that I remember having seen her wear... She wore it on all the main gala events she attended: the prewedding of King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola (along with the aquamarine set that I loved the present Duchess would wear...), the prewedding of Prince Juan Carlos and Princess Sofia in Athens (along with the circle diamond nekclace the present Duchess oftens wears), the gala for the 50th wedding anniversary of Furst and Furstin Thurn und Taxis...
