Royal Style: Make Do and Mend, or Go Big and Spend?.

[Maireas]

New thread!
Thanks for the title, Deftly!

Ah yes, that tiara is a cracker.
Let me consult, back in a mo.

I think it's the Six Button Tiara which belongs to @susiebluebell.
A tiara share is called for!

Lovely new festive thread; thanks @Maireas.

I love how good the Swedes are at Proper Glamour. They look great. I love the style and shape of CPV's dress but I'm afraid I really dislike that shade of pink.

Not a problem, I'm happy to scoop up CPV's huge diamond earrings if they're available!💕

@Eaumyword - CPV's huge diamond drop earrings ✔️

I note that you also have the racehorses - how are they doing?

😂 Oh lord,@Maireas, I have erm, neglected the racehorses a little. I am reliably informed that they have been busy earning their keep giving hacks (lead rein obvs and all risk assessments up to date) round Buck Pal grounds.
They are also available for pony princessing parties should anyone be interested.

Checking in, thanks for the thread.

CPV's button tiara has an extra rivière added it looks like

I'm so ignorant. What's a riviere?
I love that necklace is it white and pink diamonds?

Thanks for the new thread!

It's an extra line of jewels in a necklace or tiara.
I think @paradyning is right, it looks raised a bit.

Not royal but this Hollywood queen could carry off the bling

Try again

And again chopped her head off

She does look like a Princess.

Tiaras always worth a look see

According to this CPV did add an extra row but it's the bottom row, not the middle one

I know that Sophie's wedding tiara had two extra diamond rivieres added.
Elizabeth Taylor was so glamorous! Princess Margaret met her at an event once, and asked to try on her famous gobstopper diamond ring!

Some Hollywood tiaras

Margaret had commented on Liz's ring, saying how large it was and it was "quite vulgar".
Elizabeth apparently encouraged Margaret to try it on, once it was glittering on Margaret's hand, Elizabeth said, "It's not quite so vulgar now, is it?"

I think it was Jackie Kennedy's sister, Lee Radziwill who told the story.

@AdaColeman that’s one of my favourite Taylor quotes. She was a fabulous woman.

@justasking111 the photo shows in full when you click on it so don’t worry, it’s not you!

Haha. The clash of two egos as big as Liz's diamond. 😁 I love them both.
