Turquoise acorn and oak leaf tiara, made in the mid-1800s, possibly as a bridal tiara. Geoffrey C. Munn, author of several books on tiaras, said about this one, "The turquoise represents true love and the oak fortitude and strength. The empty acorn cup may stand for the loss that inevitably follows love."

One of my favorite retro pixel art tropes, the neon wireframe or schematic look, comes straight from the Tektronix 4010, a 1970s CAD computer whose vector display could draw permanently to the screen without using memory, enabling extremely high resolution line graphics.
