Terrific, many thanks for the information, Ashdean. Do you have any photos of the emerald tiara or the other tiara being worn as a belt? I've seen a photo of the impressive peridot tiara of Archduchess Isabelle of Austria, Nee Croy, being worn as a belt, and it seems pretty rare apart from that photo of Queen Alexandra using the fringe tiara as one. Cheers, Cerys.
