Has this tiara always had that base? More and more we see tiaras lifted higher with these open bases but there is something not quite right about them. I wish someone could design a more elegant method for raising a tiara out of the depths of a hair arrangement, but without exposing so much of the mechanics of doing that. Or the hair needs to be arranged for some hair to pass through the base to disguise it.
This concern probably did not matter before the days of cameras pointing from every direction.
