    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 .

    : 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.
