The two aigrettes are from Queen Maud. I guess the wings could be worn as brooches as well as the three ruby elements. Seeing them side by side i just wonder how it would look if the wings were turned around and put in the frame with the two smaller ruby elements while the larger ruby element remains on top. That would create a very wearable small diamond and ruby tiara.
--Previous Message-- : Surely this has been discussed here previously : and I've missed it, but I was looking at the : pictures of Pss Astrid wearing the two : aigrettes and it seems the frame is the : same, the wings and the rubi elements can be : detached. : Can someone confirm this please? Can the : wings be worn as brooches for instance, or : the rubi pieces? The central rubi element : would make a lovely brooch but I dont : remember ever seing them worn this way. : Thanks : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you, Arthur, for posting these : pictures. : The last one is from the State Banquet for : Israel's president Shimon Peres on May 12 : 2014. : : And isn't it gorgeous, how photographic : techniques improve?
