Hopefully it is back in the safety of the Palace vault!
--Previous Message-- : Fortunately the Snowdown Floral tiara is a : very practical piece. It breaks up in : several very wearable brooches or hairpieces : that any woman could wear for a slightly : formal event. The tiara will probably only : be used for weddings, coronations and : increasingly rare invites to the the Palace : for State banquets or Diplomatic receptions. : Still it remains a beautiful jewel with a : nice history for Lady Sarah's line. Her : brother has the hoop necklace/tiara and : probably the lotus tiara his wife wore for : their wedding as well. That leaves the : Turquoise parure of the late Princess : Margaret. So that could be with either lady : Sarah Chatto or with Viscount Linley. : : --Previous Message-- : But when will a future Mrs Chatto ever wear : it? I can imagine that the Earl and Countess : of Snowdon at least have some social events : which require more grand jewelry. : : :
