INSPIRATION 2014 #72: Tiaras aren't something I happen to collect or even notice too much ~ until I saw this one. Not that I'd ever have an occasion to wear such a thing, I still think it has a beautiful sculptural quality ~ but probably a bit too pricey for me to add to my art objects! Initially I thought it was forged steel, but upon closer inspection it looks to be encrusted with diamonds and pearls.
