  • Catalogue Essay

    Tiaras were exclusively made for royals and women from noble families in the past, but it gradually transformed into a hair accessory for evening occasions and is worn by socialites and commoners. In recent years, it has become a popular form of bridal jewellery. At Phillips Hong Kong inaugural sale, an antique necklace which was also a tiara was sold for five times its low estimate. Indeed, many antique tiaras are convertible to necklaces, allowing the lady to adapt its versatile design depending on the time and type of events they are attending. This demi-parure is designed with the very same concept.
