Well, good people, I will try again. I sign in and do all the red tape and then they tell me, after I have writtten a passionte, indeed too passionate babbling and that I must go back and refresh myself and log back in. Does this mean they want me to go home and take a bath?? Or what.
In any case I will try again. Sob. I just got to get out of here. All of these jewels together are just an ultra concentrated form of chocolate. They absolute fry my feeble brain. I am blissed out. Notice that I am not snarling at the powers that be but like the evil koala bears who live a life of stoned happiness on eucalyptus leaves, I am living a life of stoned happiness drooling over the royal forums and this last thread with all of these incredible goodies is almost more than my frail and delicate system can stand. The jewels here are just magnificent and beyond belief. Words fail me, the master of loggorrhea. I must express my deepest gratitude to magnik and others for pandering to my mental illness and obsessions. These things just almost take the breath away. If I were to see the real things I would probably just bliss out and dissolve into space. Cheeers.

Elspeth, Oh She Who Must Be Obeyed,
Hommage, prostrations and obedience. Incense, flowers and jewels, including th tiara snitched from Imelda the Trash Shoe Marcos, may I kindly ask, with all due reverence and respect, (sotto voce in fear and trembling) WHAT ON EARTH IS THE REMEBER ME BUTTON???? Kindly remember that I am a computer mongoloid and simply do not understand these things, besides I have more important obsessions on my mind, ie tiaras, and chocolate. cheers.

We have a FAQ about it in our set of FAQs; Warren wrote this one especially for people like you who are having this problem. Here's what it says: My membership has been approved, but I'm having problems staying logged into the forum. Sometimes I can't log in at all, and sometimes I get logged out after a few minutes and lose the post I was in the middle of writing. It is important to tick the 'Remember Me' box when logging in to the forum. 'Remember Me' sets the cookies in the computer which identify it to the TRF server, thereby authorising access to the site. This allows you to continue to be attached to the site whenever anything changes while you are logged in. This is especially important for AOL users. AOL utilises a constantly switching IP method of internet connection and navigation, and as soon as an IP switch occurs the website's server detects a changed connection. With cookies set, the server knows who you are and carries on as if nothing had happened. Without the cookies set (that is, no 'remember me' ticked), the server is unable to identify you. At the next mouse click, the login screen appears because the server needs to re-establish authorisation. This situation is common to many websites requiring a login ID and password, and is not TRF related.

It's the Westminster Myrtle Leaves tiara by Faberge.

Royal Weddings - Lady Tamara and Edward van Cutsem - November 2004 and Van Cutsem Family. The discussions at both threads got rather ugly.

The Westminsters have a really stunning collection of jewels--they have stunning Faberge tiaras (one of my very favorite, the Cylcaman is delicate and substantial all at once) Faberges Gold and diamond Cyclamen Tiara | Duke of Westminster
They have the Chaumet Kokoshnik blue enamel and diamond tiara: Chaumet Platin Kokoshnik mit blauem Email | Duke of Westminster The StUNNING and IMCOMPARABLE Bagration Parue. I LOVE IT. Bagration Parure - Necklace, Earrings, Comb, Tiara Pink Spinel Diamont Set The Duke gave this to his bride, the current Duchess of Westminster as a wedding gift. SIGHHHHHHHHHH. The Arcots Diamond tiara--a little extravagent, but still breathtaking Das berühmte Westminster-Diadem mit den Arcot Diamanten - Westminster Halo Tiara with the Arcot diamonds but I think the family sold it--not sure though. And then, there is THIS THING which I find to be poorly executed and much less spectacular than it could be. Not my favorite piece at all and there have been lively discussions about it in the Worst Royal Jewels Thread: Westminster-Grosvenor Pearl Drop Tiara | Orientperlen Tropfen aus der Schatzkammer der Herzöge

The Derby Diadem - tiara as worn by Mary, Duchess of Devonshire, first Mistress of the Robes to HM QEII, in 1957 (Majesty magazine, September 2007, Vol.28, No.9). Her husband was the 10th Duke of Devonshire.
There is info. about this diadem at Royal Magazin, here and also here. Both links have good pics and info. The Devonshire Parure The sixth duke was also noted for commissioning the Devonshire Parure, a seven-piece set that included a necklace, a diadem [I don't know if the Derby diadem was part of this parure], a tiara and such, opulently pavéd with gems collected by the second duke. He presented this drop-dead ensemble to his niece by marriage to wear to the coronation of Czar Alexander II. A spectacular ensemble, it could weigh you down just by looking at it. SOURCE: The New York Times, 9 April 2004

The Westminster-Grosvenor pearl drop tiara does look strange, as if the pearls have been attached upside down. My personal preference would be the base alone using the pearl drops in a necklace. Any other ideas out there?
