It's an intriguing object of beauty. The tiara has a screw system that allows you to (un)screw the wings and place them on a brooch. At the back of the tiara there is a system in which you can click either the white ostrich or the colorful peacock feather with a little golden cone that holds a feather.
The tiara is made around 1890 in Netherlands in 18 high Carat rose gold with Dutch hallmarks. It holds 116 rose cut diamonds, in the wings 55 each and the tiara skeleton has another six rose cut diamonds. We do not have the weight of the diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cuts.

With the tiara-skeleton and brooch-skeleton came two pins. We are not sure if they belong to the tiara nor are we sure how the system would work that should attach the wings or the tiara to the pins, but we decided to leave them with it and let the next owner worry about it (or not).

Since we understand that there can be an "urge" to wear this tiara when in possession, we made a system that allows you to wear it. We made it in gold and used a black elastic wide band. But a skilled goldsmith could easily custom-make one into a smaller white band.

The whole set comes in the box we bought it in that has a name in the inside. The name is H.B.Lohman, juwelier (Dutch for jeweler) in the Gravenstraat 2B, Den Haag (The Hague – Netherlands). It is not sure though that this is the maker, it could also only refer to the seller.
