Quite an odd design and it doesn't seem to have a real base or band. How on earth was one supposed to wear this contraption? Lilian's solution wasn't the best, I agree. What on earth were those whopper diamonds doing there? This tiara reminds me a bit of Queen Wilhelmina's Wedding Gift Tiara - also with such a very high front - but at least that one had a base and band. Fascinating!
