Thank you very much Vincent for your detailed information on the necklace/tiara. And yes, as often is mentioned here, a hairstyle can sometimes make all the diference in the appearance of a tiara. Ladies in past decades wore much more substantial hair styles that were perfect for tiara placing .
--Previous Message-- : : First of all that tiara was created in the : 1950s and was designed for a very bouffant : hair style. At the time a woman wearing a : tiara could hide the frame in her hair which : were coiffed very highly on the head. It is : not made to be worn on a flat hair style. : : The tiara frame was created on 1957 with the : necklace and when you open the box, you just : have to remove the necklace and remove the : bottom of the box. Under it there is a kind : of secret box where the frame is hidden. : : As i already said the frame is in two parts : : one to fix the front part of the necklace : and one that you fix in the middle of the : frame and which keeps the tiara on your : head. That second part of the frame is a : kind of round thin white gold structure : which goes from the back all around the head : to the central part of the tiara. Once the : parts have been fixed it is a very : comfortable tiara. : : Vincent : :
