The Kokoshnik Tiara
Princess Alexandra received the tiara as a gift on her Silver Wedding Anniversary in 1888 from 365 peeresses of the United Kingdom.
Alexandra had requested that the tiara be in the fashionable design of a
Russian girl’s headdress, a kokoshnik.

Often called the Fringe Tiara and does open down to make a necklace. One of my favorites.Richard from My Old Historic House.
