Overall condition good/fair commensurate with age and use. The diamonds are very bright, lively and well matched. Typical inclusions are visible under 10x magnification to many, some nibbles and chips in keeping with age. Second loop in (left side terminal as facing) is distorted and split to one side. The tiara was detachable from the base metal frame, this has been discreetly fixed at the terminals by soft solder at some time previously. The main front section is secured with a series of screwed retainers, one a replacement. Slight stretching to several of the flexible connecting links to the band resulting in a little movement on the frame. Minor surface wear throughout. Please note the tiara can not be detached from the mount to be worn as a necklace.
