Chaumet ice frost tiara in gold, platinum & diamonds, created in 1904. The tiara consists of stalactite-shaped fringes; some are pointed, while others resemble melting stalactite with drops of water (in the form of pear-shaped diamonds) hanging from them. Diamond stalactites are suspended from 2 rows of brilliants hanging from a base of round diamonds.
