There are two peeks are beautiful jewelry in this video. First we see the Imperial ladies with their gorgeous necklaces, and then at around 33 seconds, we see their tiaras for a quick peek.

This pearl tiara and the earrings are indeed very elegant and delicate pieces of jewellery - I quite like them!

The Empress's engagement ring is very stunning!

I really like the tiara and its matching necklace. Are they part of a parure, and if yes, do you know anything about its history?
Empress Michiko was really a very beautiful young lady.

She was stunning.
Unfortunately, I do not know anything about the tiara than what I got from this very thread. I am not very knowledgeable concerning jewels. Sorry about that...

I had a quick look at the previous posts in this thread, as well as a Google search, and there appears to be virtually no information on this tiara and the accompanying necklace. Just that it's often worn by the Empress and that it has also been Crown Princess Masako's tiara of choice after her wedding.
Pity, I'd have loved to learn more about the piece's provenance. Mind you, it doesn't look particularly old so maybe it had been purchased for Empress Michiko.

Warren, you are such a gem! I've been trying to find a clear picture of the Sunburst tiara since yesterday, to no avail.
Thanks a lot for posting the picture!

Tiara Question
For the princesses who were born in to the imperial family, do they have to 'return' their tiaras when they get married and relinquish their titles?

The tiaras seen on the Imperial Princesses appear to be of relatively modern design (ie post-WWII) so there's no way of knowing whether they belong to the Emperor, the Imperial Family as a whole, the IHA as overall custodian, or are the private property of the princesses or their parents.
