You got my attention. But that's not a tiara. It's a comb, and would have been placed in the top of a high bun at the back of the head.

I was wondering if you'd weigh in! I was thinking that the "tiara" would require a VERY high hairdo lol. Is any of it wearable in today's world?
 
I'd wear all of it :) Well, maybe the comb only inside my house ... :). Wish the photos were better.
 
I think it's all wearable, but the comb is going to require long hair and an updo.
 
I wonder if the comb was used to anchor a lace or embroidered mantilla or veil?
 
Disregard the comment about the tiara in the other post, BWeaves. :D
 
Oh I would wear this in a heartbeat. Its lovely. may the person who ended up with have great great joy.
