The Danish tiaras of Mary, Marie and the Queen have all been models of how jewelers can create lovely new, modern tiaras. --Previous Message-- : Totally agree about the Danish pieces, : especially the Midnight tiara but also Queen : MII Greenland tiara in yellow gold is a : pretty successful piece, at least I think : so. : : --Previous Message-- : --Previous Message-- : Cartier, VC&A, Garrards, Boucheron etc etc. : They all made horrid contraptions at some : point. Most jewellers seem to have some : difficulty when asked to make a new (modern) : tiara. : : I agree and wonder why that is. Maybe : because they don't have as many or only : small stones to work with? Many of the : modern tiaras, such as this one by Ansorena, : only have rather small diamonds so it's : probably rather difficult to come up with a : good design pattern to set the stones in. : While they are not by favourites generally, : I guess it's better to go with : non-traditional tiara materials for modern : pieces as it was done in Crown Princess : Mary's midnight tiara and Princess Marie's : Flora Danica tiara. : : :
