Скачать или смотреть Unusual Cartier Tiaras At The V&A Exhibit- Part Three Of Three

A day late, but don't worry- I'm back with two more beautiful and unusual tiaras from the Cartier exhibit!

First up, a real rarity in the form of a massive art deco citrine tiara. Made in 1937, likely for some fashion forward lady to wear for King George VI's coronation, it's constructed of citrine, yellow gold, platinum and diamonds. Showcasing the often convertible nature of well crafted tiaras, it features a central element that can be removed and worn as a brooch.

The second tiara belongs to a category of tiaras that I truly love, halo tiaras. Made for Princess Andrée Aga Khan, it features a motif of lotus flowers and zigzags, in an art deco take on Egyptian revival style. This tiara is also convertible, with the zigzag band being removable so that it can be worn on its own as a chic, simple diamond headband.
