I have to admit that when I saw photos of Mary's tiara altered to use the pearls, I didn't like the change at all. Looking at these recent photos, I can admit that I like this adaption to the tiara, it's attractive. --Previous Message-- : : The wires would be detachable - like options : to choose and add at will. : But I cannot really see, myself, how to use : anything other than pearls without changing : the piece radically. : : : --Previous Message-- : I see. Well that might change the tiara : beyond : recognition. Then I think a new (old) : versatile tiara would be a better : investment. : : --Previous Message-- : : I agree with most of that. : But I think the suggestion has been to have : more wires to add to the base with other : gems used, such as aquamarines. : They would need to be designed a bit : differently from the pearl wire. : : : --Previous Message-- : I believe in this case the court jeweller : simply added a (detachable) wire with a row : of pearls to the base and topped some of the : spikes with (detachable) pearls. Nothing was : changed to the rather delicate frame of the : tiara itself. : : : : : :
