They are permanently made into hairpins...

: I read/heard in an interview/documentary (I
: actually don't remember, was it in the
: phantastic documentary about royal jewels?
: Where Queen Margrethe II said "We don't
: count the carats, we count the
: centuries" ) with Crown Princess Mary,
: that the alterations had also been made to
: make the tiara more fitting to her shape of
: head. That the tiara in Queen Ingrid's
: version was too wide for her and that she
: had to wear it all the time too flat. Now,
: after the alterations she can wear it higher
: on the head, more like a tiara than a
: 'headband'.
:
: Actually, I don't mind too much the
: alterations made, but I utterly miss the
: little ivy-leaf in the top-middle of the
: tiara. It made it looking assymetrical in a
: very natural way. The jewel itself was done
: 'no harm', it has not been dismantled, just
: a little bit re-arranged and it's
: wearability expanded...
:
: But I like the thought that this grand jewel
: sees more of the daylight, because there
: were some hairpins made, which makes it
: wearable on more occasions. I'm convinced,
: jewels have to be worn, often .
:
: BTW, are these leafs permanently taken away
: from the tiara or are they still 'in' the
: tiara, but detachable to be worn as
: hairpins?)

: I guess I should have said "Original

: Perhaps, but tastes do differ. The one you
: call the "original version" was
: really an altered version made to suit Queen
: Ingrids taste and the current version was
: made to suit Mary's taste. Neither lady
: seems to have had a taste for the actual
: original version of the tiara.

: Thank you...
:
: oooh this frontal shot of the tiara is
: killing me...new version of the tiara lost
: airiness and substance...
:
: I (as I am sure you all know) have said that
: the "original version" was so much
: better...to mangle such a tiara just to
: create few hairpins in my opinion is quite
: sad....
:
: RIP lol...
