I didn't realize any of that, I thought she was just experimenting and playing. I think that either could have worked if there had been a frame--they would have looked similar in style (but much smaller than) the amethyst tiara of the Swedish royals, only more of a bandeau style--like when QEQM wore those multi-colored diamond and gem set bracelets as a a bandeau? Had it been more like that, those chokers on her head may have been more successful.
