Where is the Coronet ? where are Princess Lilian's Emeralds?? --Previous Message-- : I do hope too that this beautiful tiara was : given or bequeathed by the late Queen : Fabiola to Queen Mathilde and that we will : see again soon. It would be a beautiful : asset for the Belgian royal jewel : collection. : : The coronet version of the tiara is quite : high, indeed, but I like it anyway. The : Swedish Braganza tiara, the Luxembourg : Empire/Nassau tiara, the Dutch House diamond : tiara or the British Durbar tiara are all : examples that a large and high-standing : tiara can be both impressive and elegant. : : : : : Should Queen Mathilde wear this tiara, I : hope she would keep its versatility, which : is one its main advantages (besides its : elegance, of course). So, any transformation : should remain reversible. : : I agree that the base of the coronet version : could be used on its own, with the gem and : diamond leaves replaced by other gems or : pearls (preferably pear-shaped ones). For : instance, I think that the pear-shaped : aquamarines mounted as necklace drops (in a : rather plain and uninspired design, IMHO...) : could be mounted on the coronet base. : : : : Otherwise, a set of cabochon pear-shaped : emeralds would be great: : : : : And such a tiara would make a great match : with the large cabochon emerald drop brooch : and cabochon emerald drop earrings worn by : Queen Astrid and Princess Lilian (just : dreaming... ): : : : : :
