I think that, like a poem, this tiara induces different interpretations. For me it invokes images of gum leaves and gum nuts, and I fancifully imagine that it was designed with Crown Princess Mary in mind. My imagination is indeed fanciful as there is nothing in the jeweller's notes about this to suggest the leaves are meant to be Eucalyptus leaves or the spheres gum nuts. https://www.olelynggaard.com/en/special-pieces/the-tale-of-the-tiara.htm
I doubt if this would suit a majority of ladies, but it suits Crown Princess Mary.
I wonder if it also makes her think of gum nuts? Probably she would loyally say no now that she has made Denmark her home.
