I came across this book recently and had to have it. It is a must for anyone interested in tiaras or fashion in general.
' THE TIARA is staging a comeback. Tiaras have always epitomized majesty, romance and glamour, whether worn b y a queen or empress at a state occasion, by a princess as part of her bridal trousseau, or flaunted by a star or superstar model at the latest celebrity party. In Tiaras Past and Present Geoffrey Munn traces the history of these magnificent jewels from ancient times to their re-emergence in the First Empire, through the work of Faberge, Cartier and Boucheron to the extravagant creations of designers like Versace today. Tiaras of all types glitter through these pages, from royal diadems set with procious stones, literally braethtaking in their beauty, to the punk rock acrylic tiara of Vivienne Westwood, and stunning contemporary creations by David Linley, Philip Treacy and Jan Yager. The tiara is indeed the jewel of the moment, and this book is a celebration of it'.
Go on, treat yourself, what's not to love about it?
