I've got another 2-for-1 for you today: a Belle Epoque diamond necklace that converts into a tiara. Usually when you see pieces like this listed, you only get to see it in one form. But S.J. Philips gave us both!
This lovely, delicate piece was made in 1905, in the early Belle Epoque/Edwardian era. The necklace is designed as a graduated row of stylised trumpet-shaped bellflowers. Each stylized bellflower emanates three collet diamond stamen with foliate cluster drops between. These flowers hang from an articulated line of collet diamonds, all millegrain set, the cluster clasp for the necklace of shaped lozenge outline. As I already mentioned, this beautiful necklace converts into a tiara:
