Nobility Jewels: The Chaumet Ice Frost (Stalactite) Tiara

Today, I present you one of my most favourite tiaras of all time – the Chaumet Frost Tiara.
Chaumet Ice Frost (Stalactite) TIara
The tiara consists of stalactite-shaped fringes; some are pointed, while others resemble melting stalactite with drops of water (in the form of pear-shaped diamonds) hanging from them. The diamond stalactites are suspended from two-rows of brilliants, which itself hang from a base of round diamonds. 

For quite a while, I wasn’t sure whether it would be right to post an entry on this one for a very simple reason: virtually no information exists on it. Nevertheless, I was quite determined to include this work of art among the posts here, and embarked on a real detective work.
