New Porcelain and Crystal Tiara


Tiaras with porcelain flowers are really popular this year and our new Porcelain Delight Tiara will delight girls of all ages.

The sweet little porcelain flowers sit above a sparkling, crystal embellished silver plated band. Combs on each end help secure the tiara in place. You can gently adjust the sides to fit different sizes.
