Thank you Henri, this is what I was talking about in my post above. I remember at the time of CP Viktoria's wedding, when the first clear photos of this tiara were posted, Its "components" were intriguing to say the least. The "half pearls" and the rather shineless tiny diamonds make this tiara perhaps a very "afordable" one to buy I would say .
--Previous Message-- : I don't know what to think about the diadem: : : - the large pearls seem halved and I see no : "claws" or a setting holding : these. They look glued to the frame : : - 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.
