    Oh dear...it seems these "jewelers" do know where to look for royal design tiaras.
    Some "lucky" lady will be able to walk around wearing her own version of the swedish rubi tiara

    : It looks like some of the effective, but
    : lower
    : quality Indian-made items that show up on
    : Ebay in antique-style settings, sometimes
    : even open replicas of rather well-known
    : tiaras and so forth. There is no false claim
    : about them, just that they are what they
    : are. Someone could purchase and resell them
    : as something else, obviously. Anyhow, the
    : pieces remind me of the workmanship and
    : quality of stones to be found in such
    : Indian-made items. Really though, it is
    : quite attractive, but I would doubt if the
    : value would equal the price paid.

    : The link I have provided looks vaguely like
    : one of our favourite, well-known tiaras and
    : is an example of what I have stated above.

    : O/T I was reminded when Cynthia showed the
    : Hermes bags on E-Bay. There was a young
    : woman who bought what she thought was a
    : Hermes bag on E-Bay for $3000 and she took
    : it to an expert for inspection and it was
    : fake. Oops! As for the tiara and necklace, I
    : agree the price seems awfully cheap. I would
    : be leery.

    : do not open that can of worms nobody ever
    : mentioned this - not even the seller! I am
    : saying this as someone might snap up this
    : from this board and start telling people
    : this set has a connection with the Habsburgs
    :
    : I am sure the seller would have mentioned it
    : if it had even the slightest connection with
    : the Habsburgs
