- the diamonds are pretty dark or it is the result of a dirty and corroded frame
- it is visible that a 'comb' has been created but why so visible? See the base behind "the front fence" and the second 'prong' a firm metal-coloured construction is visible and clashing with the petite and fine design of the diadem.
No, it remains a mystery for me. Was Claire no Princess of Belgium, I would have thought it was a theatre attribute.
