What a delight, thank you VeronikaN ! We can now see the diamonds in the middle of each square are actually pendants, which must create an interesting effect. I quite like the tiara, but I could also guess why the Queen Mother never wore it...the interlaced Greek key pattern strikes me as quite similar to a certain other symbol. I wonder if that's the reason. --Previous Message-- : Yesterday I received my copy of Rene Brus - : Crown Jewellery and Regalia of the World : (2011 edition).
