Directors Notes
The fringe tiara is a classic of the Victorian period and this is a lovely delicate design and a very wearable example, its convertible nature making it a more versatile and useful jewel. Whilst the tiara would be worn for more formal occasions, the necklace could be worn more informally and therefore more frequently. The tiara is comfortable to wear as it is relatively light, the open airy style creating visual impact without weight. As a necklace it sits around the base of the throat and the articulation in the piece allows it some movement and to fit nicely. The diamonds catch the light beautifully with a subtle sparkle and the overall effect is elegant and refined, whichever way it is worn.

Directors Notes
Originating in the mid-19th century in Belgium, attributed to artist Emile Marius Pradier, this reverse carving and painting technique then spread through Europe to England. A highly skilled hand was required to carve the reverse of the cabochons which are then carefully painted so that the finished result, when viewed through the dome, was as three dimensional and ‘life-like’ as possible. The term ‘Essex crystal’ is commonly used to describe this technique, however, this is due to an incorrect association with William Essex...
