Necklace Tiara Posted by kat max on June 14, 2019, 10:47 pm I found this image Carola of Vasa (Karoline Frederikke Franziska Stephanie Amalia Cecilia; 5 August 1833 at Schönbrunn – 15 December 1907 at Dresden) was a titular princess of Sweden, and the queen consort of Saxony. She was the last Queen of Saxony. I was interested to see what is quite clearly a necklace being worn with her tiara in her hair. An unusual combination of jewels I would have thought. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10525630w/f40.item.r=russie%20hesse.zoom

Its always good to see images of 'the real thing' when you are dealing with paintings or even images worked up from photos.
