This is a normal silvertoned tiara base band with small combs at either end. The 'Cats Whiskers' are wires shaped to curve with real SWAROVSKI Crystals attached at the ends of each wire. They are AB crystals and there are three different sizes of crystal on the wires with small crystals wire wrapped at the centre. These crystals really attract and reflect the light as only Swarovski can do and the design is very modern but could also look quite 20's with the right dress. This tiara has the detail on the right of the band so it will sit slightly to the left of your head but I can make them with the detail the other side or in the centre with crystals of your choice. Any questions please ask before purchase to ensure I have the colour you require lots of other colours being listed over the next few weeks as I get them made. This is the first of them so great for 2010 weddings.
