Indeed, Henri, you are right. Iīve always like the Honeycomb because of the geometrical design and it suits DoC very well. She is able to wear the real big ones. A question of typ. Regrettable the art deco pieces are sometimes underrated. Usually the design donīt look so vintage or romantical as is expected of a tiara, but is very much adaptable to modern fashion, timesless and could show a way to create modern tiaras today. Especially young women preferring a more strict style and older women it could fit. There are beautiful tiaras as the geometrical tiara of QEQM and the wonderful Cartier Tiara of the Hessians.
