The wild rose brooches are beautiful and to use these pieces to fashion a tiara would result in a stunning tiara. Thank you for the montage John. --Previous Message-- : Not the best montage, sorry, but this gives an : impression of what it might look like: : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Godd idea! i think the roses might look very : good on the base of the tiara. Im also : hoping they will convert the prong tiara of : mellerio to a small saphire tiara by : replacing the top stones with saphires : (maybe even using the round saphire from the : round brooch so that can return to it's : original emerald version and get the emerald : drop added to it). : : --Previous Message-- : I wonder if they ever tried the base of that : tiara with the diamond rose brooches...They : are exquisite. On that note I hope the Queen : will wear them someday in which ever way. : : --Previous Message-- : I have to say the buttons work much better : as : brooches and clasps of bracelets. I've never : been a big fan of the pearl button tiara, it : looked ok on the big hairstyles of Juliana : and Beatrix but on Maxima it looks bad. With : several other pearl tiara's i'd prefer to : see a new use of the base (not a fan of the : current version of the star tiara either). : Maybe they could use some of the saphires to : create a second smaller saphire tiara and : return the necklace of Emma to it's original : use. : : --Previous Message-- : Princess Beatrix's wearing one of the Pearl : Button Brooches on a bracelet in the late : 1950s, early 1960s before it was used to : create a new tiara, which was first seen in : 1965 on Queen Juliana. The Pearl Button : Brooches are believed to have belonged to : Queen Sophie, born a princess of : Wuerttemberg. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
