Dear Nellie thank you, you archives are amazing .
And I was wrong, not 5 floral spikes on the necklace but 7! And a diferent combination with 3 spikes and 2 of the large elements.
This tiara was so beautiful, and so versatile. It's so sad it didn't stay in the family and will never be seen again most likely...
