    As far as i can see the tiara has only been worn with the seven prongs and the agraitte with 9 prongs. It would be interesting to see Queen Maxima wearing the complete parure. .

    : Yes there most certainly are two seperate
    : Peacock Tail Motif elements (one with nine
    : and one with seven prongs) as Irene has been
    : photographed wearing both of them (one as a
    : brooch) at the same time. Question remains
    : whether both could be worn in the tiara.

    : I think Johan is right, that there were
    : original 4 parts.
    :
    : tiara
    : necklace
    : brooch
    : aigrette
    :
    : That would explain the difference between
    : the diamonds on the aigrette and on the
    : tiara element!
    :
    : Perhaps HRH Princess Irene still has the
    : necklace and the aigrette and gave/sold/??
    : the tiara and brooch to the foundation.
