On the contrary it is very easy to wear as a tiara. The frame is in the box, under the white satin. You just have to remove the back sapphire section of the necklace. It takes about 2 seconds and then click the central section of the necklace again on both ends of the frame. The whole process does not take more than 10 seconds. The tiara setting is very well done. It has a kind of round section going all across the head, starting from from the center of the tiara, to keep it stable on the head of the woman who wears it. :
