As gorgeous as this necklace is, with some serious diamonds, I wonder if it would really work as a tiara; Rotate the picture and you'll see what I mean. The middle part of it might look a bit awkward, even if you remove the pedant from it. I can see though that that middle part does make a spectacular brooch! Do you still have the little screwdriver with it?
--Previous Message-- : I would like to know the opinion of you : experts in this board. My family owns a : Belle Époque "multi-purpose" : necklace by the Dutch royal jeweler : Bonebakker, that used to be convertible into : broach/pendant or a tiara, but the tiara : frame is lost. Even if there are no : opportunities to wear it as a tiara (apart : from a family wedding, not in sight) I would : like to have it completed. I assume that : going to the original maker or another : "royal" jeweler would cost more : than the value of the piece. Would you go to : any jeweler, or just keep it as it is? :
