The sapphire tiara is really a monster as the design is also not the most beautiful. It uis a wall of diamonds. The Württemberg's have also a very big and high diamond and sapphire tiara but it has more beautiful design.

: I simply can't understand why Gloria didn't
: want to keep one of the 'white' tiara. She
: is a colour-loving women and I understand
: that she loves the coloured stones. But
: didn't she think about future brides?

: Anyway, personally I call the sapphire tiara
: the 'monster'. It would be "something
: blue", but no, please not!
