Used only for about an hour during the wedding reception's costume change. A different tiara was worn for the rehearsal. It has height and is gorgeous even when viewed from the side. I've worn various tiaras, but this is my favorite one♫ I'm passing it on to future brides!! There are no scratches or stains, but please consider purchasing only if you understand that it is a used item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous or overly concerned about details.
