The hairdo would matter very much to wear this as a head ornament.
--Previous Message-- : 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? : : :
