So. I’m in the middle of a very fun RP with my bestie. It is a pretty big AU as only one of the characters is actually from anything other than our own imaginations, and we’re making up a world for them as we go, but as it is set in a court during an undefined period of time (sort of a cross between Tudor and Regency, but with gunpowder replaced with a specific type of magic) a matching set of jewels with a tiara was mentioned.
For shiggles, I decided to try and find a few different tiaras so I could post an image of one I thought fit best.
... I wound up on a very nice blog called “The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor”, cruising through their “Top 15 Tiaras” list.
Um. And since then I have spent about six hours of my day going through their “Tiara Thursday” tag and posts. Because my magpie brain cannot look away.
I also learned that a matching set of jewels like my character was presented with is called a “parure”. Which is really cool. I can fling that term about in our period RPs now.
Um. So. A link. Yes. Because it must be shared.
... And you all might soon be subjected to a post of my favorite tiaras because WHY THE HECK NOT?!
