Photos of some of the beautiful rock and mineral specimens at the Smithsonian National Nature History museum. I even have a snapshot of the Famous Hope Diamond. It was one of my favorite places to visit.
TIARA ALERT: Blake Lively wore a paraiba tourmaline, diamond, and copper tiara by Lorraine Schwartz for the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on 2 May 2022.
I was hoping Lorraine Schwartz would put out a photo of the tiara but no luck yet. It’s a really interesting piece made from copper that has been partially oxidized. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a copper tiara before. The gemstones are paraiba tourmalines and light brown diamonds. The diamonds almost have a pinkish tint but that could be the color reflecting off the copper. It’s inspired by the State of Liberty so the tiara has seven spikes and twenty five gemstones to represent the windows.
