SOURCE OF INSPIRATION : Mother Nature
MATERIAL : 18K red gold and silver in the silver on gold technique.
OTHER MATERIAL : The ornaments are enameled in a orange color.
STONES : Several ornaments around the tiara are set with rose cut diamonds. We don't have the weight of these diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cut diamonds.
WEIGHT : 71.10 gram (45.72 dwt)
HALLMARKS : French hallmarks dating around 1770.
REMARKS : The ornaments where the Tiara is built around date back to the 18th century. Most probably they came from another piece of jewelry and it is obvious that somewhere in the nineteenth century these ornaments were used for decoration in this tiara. It is also clear that the tiara is built specially around these ornaments because there is one little ornament in the center part that, in contrary to the other three little ornaments, is not round but oval. And this little oval ornament fits perfectly in its mounting without any signs that the spare place where it is mounted has been adjusted to the oval shape of this ornament.
CONDITION : Excellent condition

SIZE : Height 4.76 cm (1.87 inch)
