Fake doesn't necessarily imply plastic.Henri M. said:... and are definitely no plastic.
TP you really do have some evil thoughts!Thomas Parkman said:Dear Members, You must understand that we have all missed the boat on this one...
The Westminster Pearl Tiara is owned by the Duke of Westminster.RubyPrincess168 said:The Westminster Pearl Tiara... Who owns this one anyways (royal familywise)?
Star trekking across the universe. Always going forward, 'cos we can't find reverse! Oh star trekk..........RubyPrincess168 said:The Westminster Pearl Tiara: Okay, that's not the worst tiara ever, but it's not the best either. It looks like someone tried to convert a necklace-not-meant-to-be-converted-into-a-tiara into a tiara.
RubyPrincess168 said:Nice call about Camilla's Ruby "Breastplate"! I'm a little confused as to whether it's considered C's personal jewelry and therefore can be passed on to her children, or if it's considered a gift from a head of state and therefore on loan from the Crown.
branchg said:It probably was a personal gift, but The Duchess certainly can request the piece be designated as part of the royal collection for future queens to wear, assuming The Queen agreed.
Elspeth said:Well, considering that Camilla isn't likely to be in the position where she needs to flog that necklace because she's short of a few bob, and considering that she isn't likely to leave something that big and showy to her own children, especially since it was given to her in her capacity as Charles's wife, I don't know why they didn't just characterise it as an official gift to the Crown from the start and avoid all this confusion. Someone at Clarence House really isn't quite on the ball with some of these decisions.
I've come to the conclusion that pearls really just don't belong in a tiara, period. Why? They just don't go..maybe because those pearls, all lined up next to one another, more than vaguely resemble a big set of teeth. Worn on someone's head! Ugh.Thomas Parkman said:Given the condition ??? or should I say the display of the ahem bosoms of the Camilla of the interesting Past in the massive Arab ruby diamond ruby neck scarf, how could anybody call that contraption a breastplate. sorry but I must stop here. My evil and perverted mind is beginning to consider the various possibilities those words imply. A royal doulton plate of finest china, bedecked with rubies, hmmmm.
As for the pearl thing, as a button tiara it is an incredible bore. they need to take the thing apart and start over. Maybe some nice earings and a necklace or two and forget the tiara idea or go out and get some more pearls and start over.
