Thank you for the pictures John. I haven't seen them for so long I had forgot how..."modern"...they were.
Oh dear, really, whats the point in giving something that you know for sure it is unwearable and will be stuck forever in some vault??? I find it a shameful waste of fine precious materials. Countless options of nice wearable jewels could have been made with this gold, silver and diamonds, that the Princess could proudly wear as her wedding gifts.
These two "tiaras" beat by far the danish golden poppies or norway's Star Treck tiara, those jewels can actually be worn...
