I wonder how the tiara was attached when worn as a chocker? In the pictures I have seen it doesn't seem to be articulated, so it must have been quite incomfortable to wear.
There at least two lines where the jewel's bending can be adjusted. They are visible after the next pearl but one on the left and right of the central pearl on top and closely follow the pattern of diamonds and onyx-inlays. I assume there are at least two additional lines further back.
One of these lines is also visible in a larger version of the picture of Marie-Hélène de Rothschild and Salvador Dali.
