--Previous Message-- [snip] : It is interesting that even if these pieces : were given to Queen Josephine (Before she : became a Queen), why there isn't even one : visual evidence of any of the cut steel : jewels on her..it was very fashionable to : wear such work of art in those days, and as : much Queen Josephine loved her jewels, I am : just surprised that we haven't seen any of : them on her..even in casual day wear [snip] It might be due to the fact that the design of the bigger of the two steel cut tiaras was quite out of fashion already by the mid 1820's and while the smaller one might have been still worn in later years we have not much visual evidence of a queen's casual day wear from that time.
