Daily Dinosaur Fact: Day 7

Ceratosaurus isn’t actually horned. The lumps on its heads are in fact crests, and were most likely used as a form of display.

Finally finished a drawing started during my short internship in England a month ago. I was inspired by a sumerian head ornement seen at the @britishmuseum Swap to see the process video, including the ref of the ornement. #drawing #art #artistoninstagram #procreate #procreateart #ipadpro #applepencil #procreateapp #illustration #digitalpainting #digitalart #sumerian #headornament #gold #sumerianwoman #britishmuseum #drawingfromreference https://www.instagram.com/p/BumYtAdFtMs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rynhur4e2pcj

Garland High Jewellery Diamond and Pearl Tiara

"Elegantly entangled, an intricately intertwined knot motif, as symbolic of eternity as the diamonds in which it is realised, sweeps around our high jewellery Garland tiara. Its scalloped silhouette brings a lacelike delicacy to the design, with radiating rows of freshwater pearls and diamonds recalling the iconic Lover’s Knot tiara, crafted by Garrard in 1913 and recently worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales, formerly Duchess of Cambridge.

The tiara’s long association with royalty lends it a prestigious beauty that distinguishes it from all other jewels. Ever since it was appointed Crown Jeweller in 1843, the House has crafted some of the British royal family’s most iconic tiaras, many of which are still worn today, and the designers at Garrard continue to dream up contemporary interpretations of time-honoured designs, crafted in the same traditions as they have been for centuries. Read more"

Okay, so the lovely and utterly breathtaking @silivrenelya is visiting me, and what do you do when two star wars geeks who met in the trashcompactor meet IRL?  Yes, you come up with ideas concerning your OTP, so here I throw these little things out: 

a Darth Vader apron we saw at a geek store and just begs for a #putitonkylo2k17

and an absolutely beautiful headornament from ancient rome and now we need someone to draw Senator Kylo who was gifted a headband made of planets by Emperor Hux (bonus points if it includes the Hosnian planets!)

Also, quick shoutout to @huxcrying, bc we saw a beautifully made astrolabe (which we unfortunately did not take a picture of) from ancient Ottoman, I believe, and spent a little while squealing over their cinéma vérité fic.

Diamond, Onyx & Pearl Platinum Tiara

"Dazzling in person, this bandeau style tiara is made to be worn on the back of the head yet is of such a scale that it can be worn more on the forehead. Superior platinum work with superb mille grain detail provides the perfect setting for the wondrous combination of diamonds, natural pearls and onyx. Set in a Greek key pattern, four hundred and eighty (480) old European and single cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of 7.8 carats (color range H-K; VS1-SI1 clarity) embellish and create impeccable frames for seven (7) luscious natural pearls (untested but assumed natural due to age and examination) ranging in size from 3.35 mm to more than 8 mm in diameter. Rectangular cut onyx, ninety-five (95) gems in all provides contrasting visual interest against the whiteness of the diamonds and the pearls. To secure the tiara to the head, a length of ribbon or ribbon over elastic is engaged through the loops on the back of the silver head band.

The piece is accompanied by a blue velvet tiara box, possibly original with a cream silk interior embossed "Skinner Silversmith and Diamond Merchant, Orchard Street, London. W." in gold letters with the surmounted image of a crown."
