Tiaras And Hair

[Fireweaver]

I think it's dependant on how the base is shown, and what tiara it is. The gift tiara of Carl Gustav to Queen Silvia is a gorgeous tiara, but has an obvious base which shows up if the hairdo is too flat.
Other tiaras don't seem to have as obvious of a base and can be worn in a sleeker hairstyle w/ no base shown.

I think it depends on the base. if it's a pretty base, or at least interesting looking, then it's ok. If it's plain metal, it's not quite as pretty.
Some tiaras don't seem to have a base at all, or I'm blind, either way :)

What I have wondering is, do tiaras look better with darker hair?
Because often tiaras are in light colors

I think it depends on the coloring of the person. I think a woman w/ blonde hair and fair skin can look wonderful in platinum and diamonds. I do think that diamond and platinum tiaras show up best on a head of dark hair, though.

The tiara was made for ladies with long hair. There is a bottom bar which
usually is hidden by being covered with brown, black, red, or white
pipe cleaner wrapped around that bar-which helps to hold it in place when
long hair pins are used. It is placed thru that. Shorter hair must be a hassle-
the diademas and tiaras must keep moving and falling forward!

I have some photos I took of a princess from different events, and I have of
her tiaras she is seen in on different occasions. I sometimes only get to
clip the photos out and I took with my digital camera of these so I hope they
come out. I am learning to upload.

There are many that we do not hear of. Not everyone clamors for the cameras,
some shy from it, and others lead quiet lives.

Not everyone is smoking, drinking, drugs, living in the fast lane. Some do
actually, I assume, have some common sense or just are at one with
themselves.

I have photos of different socialistes, and this one is one of my favorites.If someone can instruct me how to upload from a CD- and from the digital
camera-I will.-George

TIARA, BY DIANA SCARISBRICK, PP.134 PHOTO OF THE TIARA IN YOUR
WEBSITE:
"The tirara, which can also be worn as a necklace, is mounted on a frame from which rise five open-work, heart shaped scroll motifs, set with cushion-shaped
and rose diamonds, each enclosing a large collect-set diamond and surmounted
by two others, that in the center by a lagter top clkuster, linked by festoons of collet-set stones. The design exemplifies the elegance of the garland style,
which is based on eighteenth century models. Here, the heart shaped scrolls echo the center of the tiara made for VISCOUNTESS MONTAGU IN 1767, WHICH
IS AN HEIRLOOM OF THE SPENCER FAMILY. CARTIER USED THE SAME MOTIF
FOR THE KOKOSHNIK TIARA OF LINA CAVALIERI, "tghe loveliest prima dona
in the world" (Tastler, 1909). This tiara, which was made for the WIFE OF A
RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT using stones from the family collection and others removed
from a decoration, probably the Nashami-al-Imtiaz presented by the Sultan
Abdul Hamid II (1876-1909), has been in the family ever since. It was ordered
in St. Petersburg, and executed in Paris."
