This tiara is beautiful and the alternating pearl and diamond drops are stunning. I would have loved to see this piece in the light with the pendants moving. Big thanks Dawn. --Previous Message-- : Thank you DAwn, yes, it shows more clearly the : alternation between Pearl and : diamonds...besides the central circle is not : completely round, but has a kind of soft : spike inthe centre...very beautiful tiara, : thanks for share and a very happy 2014 for : all of you, who are the source and : inspiration of so much knowledge and : preservation of past, thefore, of : history....thanks!!!!!!!! : : --Previous Message-- : Oliviamar, : : I found a google image link to this picture : of the tiara Princess Anastasia of Greece : (formerly Nancy Stewart) wore in the : newspaper picture.

Too bad it's not in color or : else we would be able to see what they were. : : Glad you and Mauriz enjoyed seeing these : newspaper pictures. Happy New Year to : you and all others, too! : : --Previous Message-- : happy new year for all of you; and thank you : Dawn por the pics.............regarding the : tiara of the greek princes, yes it seems : very similar to Vladimir, but it seems to me : that the central drop, in the middle of the : circles is not a Pearl, but a diamond, only : in the center circle.........could it be? : : --Previous Message-- : Source: Library of Congress. : : There are some pictures in the newspapers : which I found in the Library of Congress : collection. : : From the 'The Sun and the New York Herald' : (NYC, NY) dated February 22, 1920: : : This tiara of Princess Christopher of Greece : (formerly Nancy Stewart who was previously : Mrs. William B.
