There's an exhibition - (palace of Charlotten, and some great shopping department stores in Germany) with copies of the Crowns and also privat jewellery...

The classic crown shown on the website Alexander 1917 provided is not, I think, the Hohenzollern crown. It looks to me like the Hannover family crown.

Here is the Hohenzollern crown:

with those coiffeurs it's not a hard task.. put your hair over a ring of foam plastic, and morst of the rhinestone things hold..without many hairpins...and those tiaras a sometimes really heavy...

It does, Eric. But to me it looks like an exagerrated Gibson rather than Geisha.  And, I do not think they had foam plastic in those days.  A coill of fabric perhaps or a rat. In any case, something had to hold it in place. Pity the poor maid who had that job!

Gravity and hairpins.
