I don't think the RF will spend 6 mln on a small tiara, whatever the provenance. --Previous Message-- : Imho this is a fantastic opportunity for the : BRF to acquire a decent sapphire tiara with : the bonus of being an historic piece of : jewellery. The so called sapphire tiara : that Queen Elisabeth II owns is not an : example of a very successful tiara. Queen : Victoria Coronet is perfect for the Duchess : of Cambridge or even for the Queen herself : in ‘low profile’ situations. Besides, I : think it would go marvelously with the : George VI sapphire’s set and Prince Albert : Brooch, not to mention Princess Diana’s : engagement ring. : : It is a large amount of money, sure, but : with the public outcry for the tiara to stay : in UK, I think that most people would accept : easily the BRF to spend such amount of : money. In a single move the tiara would : stay in UK, satisfying the public in : general, and would return to the main line : of the BRF, getting into regular use again. : :
