Seriously?! Perhaps it was simply a very dated piece in the late 1930's already? I believe wearing these bandeaus on the forehead simply went out of fashion at some point. And I can't see how else this piece can be worn except when completely reset on a solid frame. --Previous Message-- : 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.
