This design and look is so intense. Its placed in a monstro against the wall, so it can not be seen from behind. But beautiful it is. Its situated just next to the Mountbatten tutti frutti bandeu.

I was interested to see that this tiara was initially lent to the museum by Lady Logan and later accepted by the UK government in lieu of inheritance tax and allocated to the V & A in 2015.
For the details of the tiara see http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O153154/tiara-lavabre-henri/
