Creation: This tiara was made in 1926 by Van Bever and the arches over
the eleven top diamonds were added in 1933. The tiara can be worn
as a bandeau without the top arches. The bandeau base can also be worn as a
choker necklace or a bracelet. The eleven large diamonds have been
temporarily used in several necklaces.

Because of it's slanted base, I think it looks best worn as a headband or necklace. The rest just look odd somehow.
