I think we have at least one tiara each, according to my spreadsheet. Some have parures. Any newbies welcome, log your choices.

It really is gorgeous! I love the honeysuckle - and the centre can be replaced with a massive topaz which is equally stunning

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 14/11/2021 23:57

Erm isn't the Honeysuckke Tiara one of mine?
Or is that another Honeysuckle Tiara?
Or am I being greedy because I've already got The Stuart, The Persian Parure & The Turquoise Tiara Grin

Mind you we are like the royals as we do share the tiaras, as long as we check with the Head Tiararian (that's what you call the person who's in charge of the Tiara library @Maireas

Eaumyword · 15/11/2021 07:01

Grin That's brilliant - Head Tiararian!
And @TracyBeakerSoYeah you are being terribly greedy with all those tiaras, sharing is caring (except when it comes to jewels and maltesers.)

Maireas · 15/11/2021 08:13

Head Tiararian!
I like!
Well, Tracy, I have you down as owner and sole wearer of the Kinsky Honeysuckle, which is a different item. Unless you lay claim to both? Maybe you could do a tiara share, although two honeysuckle tiaras, to paraphrase Oscar Wilde, may be pushing it Hmm.

Blush Obviously my recollection of tiaras had become varied, muddled up actually Blush
Seriously, I actually woke up in the middle of the night after a very bizarre dream thinking it's the wrong Tiara!
Then thought why am I getting stressed about an 'imaginary owned' tiara 🤣🤣
To be fair yesterday was quite stressful as my Mum's just had a positive Covid PCR test.
Apart from it feeling like a major cold she's ok, just extremely tired & achy but better than she was at the beginning of the week.

And yes two honeysuckle tiaras would be pushing it!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 15/11/2021 09:10

The Kinsky can be borrowed whenever needed Grin

Maireas · 15/11/2021 09:39

You've been dazzled by the diamonds.
We all have.

There's a program at 10pm tonight on Channel 4 called Diana: Queen of Style, for anyone who's interested. Not sure what more there is to be said but it's always fun to watch a fashion retrospective.

CruellaDeVilla · 15/11/2021 11:45

My dd laughed at me when I said

“I was about to go to sleep last night when I got distracted by something, can’t remember what.”

Oh yes, I can. It was tiaras”

I’d like this Cartier one that was stolen from The Portland Collection near me back in 2018.

www.tatler.com/article/missing-multimillion-pound-portland-tiara-thirteen-in-court

Attached is a photo I took of it in 2017 before it got pinched, obvs. The gallery has just left the damaged glass in place covered by another piece of glass as an exhibit in itself.

Now Where Did I Put My Starter Tiara?
Maireas · 15/11/2021 12:46

Right - have we all got alibis for this one?
Hmm

Ahh yes, I was washing and styling my hair, ready to try on my new…err…hat.

I do find it quite interesting to wonder where in the world that tiara has ended up, is it still a tiara? Or now separate pieces of jewellery?

Also, the setting of The Portland Collection is amusing, right next to a Notcutts garden centre, and a farm shop with families stood outside chomping on gigantic sausage rolls fresh from the oven, the site of a multi-million pound diamond heist a few steps opposite them.

Maireas · 15/11/2021 13:11

Yes. That's where I was. Buying a sausage roll.
