By the 70's Garrard was well 'past its best', and unable to do the stones justice [as Cartier or Boucheron STILL do.
For myself , had l been commissioning a tiara using these stones, i'd have taken inspiration from the Bolin Ruby and Diamond Necklace made for Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, when she became Duchess of Edinburgh, a timeless piece, using MANY small Rubies to great effect.
