Thank you so much Nellie. Your photos of the Empress are wonderful. For those who might be interested, here is a description of the Empress' crown http://www.iranchamber.com/museum/royal_jewels/national_iranian_jewels07.php I cannot imagine this on anyone other than Empress Farah. I know it was made for her, and I suspect, at the time, it was meant to be an enduring crown for future Empresses, but I doubt if anyone else could match her innate elegance or be able to wear this crown with such style.
