Happy new year,
Franck
I must be honest and state that I did not like this tiara when I first discovered it. But you know the saying 'grows on you' well it did just that and I now see its beauty every time I see it. However the only thing I feel could have made it more profound is if it could have been designed in a two tire way like the lost French ruby tiara which could have been worn in two a top tire and a bottom tire. Now if it had been done in this way it would have been the most significant ruby tiara around now. But that is only my wandering thoughts. Thanks for this debate Beth.
Regards,
Dave.
As I am suffering from overload during this bushfire season and cannot put my mind to things, I thought I would introduce a topic which needs no great thought --
QEII's Burmese ruby tiara.
Do you love it, hate it, or are neutral?
Some reasons for points of view might help others shape their opinions.
Some might even like to outline the history of the jewels which went into this tiara, as not everyone is familiar with how QEII sourced the gemstones for this jewel.
