  1. Of all the personally owned tiaras of the Danish royals on display I think Princess Benedike has the loveliest in the floral tiara. It has to be one of the prettiest of its kind anywhere! The Khedive has a lot of sentimentality attached to it, but it’s not that pretty IMO. The one I like the least is the Naasut. It may be an excellent example of something that has great artistry and yet manages not to be very attractive. I’m thinking that it’s the garish appearance of the yellow gold. If it would have been created in silver or white gold or platinum I think it would have improved greatly because then all the little diamonds in the flowers’ stamens and pistils would sparkle and make it quite nice. I wish I had photoshop abilities to change the picture and make that happen, just to see if it would work!

  2. I’ve been exploring for a bit for any high-quality articles or blog posts on this sort of area .
