I agree. I know I am a minority here, but I never really liked this piece as tiara. Yes the saphires are wonderful, a truly beautiful colour, but the tiara itself, and its style and design, does not match at all the fabulous George VI saphire set, one of the most beautiful in HM´s collection. So I really cannot consider the set + tiara as a parure. Apart from the colour of the stones everything else looks like a mismatch.
It looked so much beautiful when HM wore the saphire set with one of her diamond tiaras (Girls of Great Britain or QA fringe). The saphire tiara would look fabulous if (re)turned into her primary version as necklace. But just my opinion of course.
