About MeThis is a very rare Scottish green enamel and pearl-set tiara made by A and J Smith of Aberdeen. It is of Art Nouveau form with a curved scroll design and is made from finely wrought gold. The shaped centre front is inset with green enamel and surmounted by three graduated blister pearls. It has a hinged hair comb designed to slide into the wearer’s hair to enable the ‘crown’ to sit almost upright. The tiara is displayed within its original tooled leather case which is stamped ‘A & J Smith Aberdeen’.
