    Thank you, John!
    Well I'll try to put it politely "Designwise not an utter success" or "Very experimental design indeed" or "Modern approach to a tiara design". Or let's use the Duchess of Cambridge's favourite "They are amazing!"

    : We all know that a 'tiara' can be many
    : things
    : - think of Queen Margrethe, Queen Sonja,
    : Crown Princess Maxima, Crown Princess Mary,
    : Princess Marie of Denmark's modern tiaras...
    :
    : Queen Elizabeth strikes me as quite
    : conservative when it comes to jewellery - I
    : am not sure HM would wear a tiara like the
    : one Crown Princess Maxima received when HRH
    : got married...
    :
    : in 1963 I am not sure the world was as
    : 'visual' as it is today! so perhaps that is
    : the reason Martin has heard about the tiara
    : - but we have never seen it - as far as I
    : know Crown Princess Maxima has not worn her
    : modern tiara either
