    "There was also a comb, but that comb was NOT used for the tiara"

    What happend to the comb? Is it still around or was it used to create other pieces of this parure? I'm sure I would love to see it in Mary's hair.

    : I strongly suspect that the earrings and
    : necklace can be re-assembled. I doubt if the
    : Crown Princess would alter a grand design
    : which suits her without having this ability,
    : as then she would be without a grand
    : necklace and earrings. Bjarne's comments in
    : 2012 have also influenced my thinking.

    : I agree these rubies look very good on Crown
    : Princess Mary's dark hair and undisputable
    : elegance.

    : when I see such an old and historical parure
    : being so much transformed. My concern is not
    : about the tiara/hairpins (I know that the
    : tiara is made of several separate elements -
    : former corsage brooches - mounted on a tiara
    : frame, so there is no problem changing the
    : assortment of the elements), but about the
    : necklace and the girandole earrings: do we
    : know if these jewels can easily revert back

    : I like the ruby parure hair pins a lot. They
    : allow her to wear important hair jewels to
    : toned down events that don't require a
    : tiara. They look grand in Mary's dark hair.
