Must state that I have not changed my opinion of the Spanish tiara. Not convinced.
--Previous Message-- : Thank you so very much Tamara, for treating us : with these two lovely close-ups ! : : It was wonderful to see the Nine Provinces : Tiara in full on Queen Mathilde and it was : very lovely to see Queen Letizia wearing : someting "special" to honour Queen : Margrethe. : : Though, I'm not very fond of the Spanish : Queen's Fleur de Lys tiara... But I have to : admit, that I am very 'traditionalistic' : when it comes to tiaras - or then something : really very modern (like the Norwegian Start : Trek tiara ). But this new Spanish tiara is : neither of it, it's neither in the 'old : style', nor really modern. And the pearls - : which are wonderful btw - are IMO much too : huge for the rather delicate tiara. It's : difficult to express, but I every time I see : this tiara, I see one of these 'bridal : tiaras' with zirkonia (which I think are : rather ghastly) . But the Fleur de Lys : ornament worn as a brooch is very : successful, IMO. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : were definitely Queen Letizia's and Queen : Mathilde's...it was wonderful to see the new : tiara and just as much seeing 9 province : tiara for the first time in its full form on : Queen Mathilde...it was special of them to : wear it on Queen Margrethe's festivities : : : : : : :
