Creation: This tiara was made in late 1810/early 1811 most likely by Marie-Etienne Nitot. It is very flexible and composed of 11 separate sections that can be removed to better fit the individual wearers needs. The sapphires were interchangeable with pearls but are now fixed in place and the pearls were used in other jewelry.
