diadem

The Marie Louise Diadem is set with over 1000 diamonds and Persian Turquoise.  Originally set with emeralds in place of the turquoise (before donation to the museum). 

​One of the most exquisite diadems/crowns I have ever seen.  Currently on display at the Museum of Natural History in Washington DC.
