This diamond studded tiara is shaped in a symmetrical band, with two parallel rows of diamonds affixed to a thin platinum base. Repeating geometric patterns nestle between the rows of square diamond studs. An alternating pattern of rectangles with tiered sides and pointed ovals with triangles share a central row of squared diamonds as well as the outer bands. The square is turned on its corners, and it has three tiers of steps on each of its four sides. The other alternating shape, an oval with two points, has a triangle and square formation on either end, reminiscent of an arrow pointing toward the center of the oval. The bandeau's central decoration is a pearl affixed to the center of a tiered square. Above the top band, two tear-shaped stones learn into each other, their points meeting. The repeated square and pointed oval alternates around the band until the back, where a simple clasp joins the two ends.
