Yes - there is an additional short band going over the top of the head, further forward than the crown, which has the effect of controlling the angle of the tiara, and also spreading the weight I would think. That band would also releave any need for the outer ends of the band to be very tight to hold the tiara safely. I have not seen such a thing before. --Previous Message-- : On the picture below you can see that behind : the frame there is something extra to : balance the diadem. Especially worn in full : setting, with the middle prong (not worn : here), the diadem seems to be top heavy. : There are pictures of Queen Beatrix on a : State Visit in Portugal correcting this : diadem because it apparently felt like : toppling from her head.
