Queen Alexandra's Kokoshnik would be a fair substitute if one must be made.
--Previous Message-- : So, what tiara is Cams going to wear to this : future coronation? While the KGIV State : Diadem is out for this event, there are many : other options.... : : I would love to see the Delhi Durbar Tiara : dusted off and slightly altered - I'm : thinking channeling Queen Mary here and her : capacity to add considerable caret power to : this piece. Below are pictures on both : Camilla wearing the tiara, and QM with one : iteration of the tiara : : : : Firstly, I'm not sure whether I would : re-instate the top row of diamond that was : taken off? I'll be interested in other's : opinions on that. Now, for the carets. I'd : leave the Cullinan III pear shape on the : top, however place the splendid Koh-i-Noor : in the center. The latter stone is nearly : twice the size of the Cullinan IV that QM : used above, and has also been used in all : Queen Consort crowns since Queen Alexandra. : The only other change I would do would be to : bring the shape of the tiara in slightly, so : it is less fanned out (as Camilla had it : above), resulting in a slightly more circlet : shaped - that way Cams gets near a diadem, : without crossing the line. : : This tiara has strong historical links, has : not been pictured on QEII (avoiding any : comparisons with Camilla), and the larger : tiara size suits Camilla's hair and face (as : we have seen above and with the larger : Grevillea tiara). : : What are your thoughts, too much? Nah, we're : talking Camilla here and the most important : event in her life - she will pull it off : with grace and style. : : What alternative tiaras could posters dream : up? :
