(Valkirie tiara) by Cartier commissioned by the late Mary Crewe-Milnes, Duchess of Roxburghe, in 1935. The tiara is on display for the first time at V&A Dundee

1. Stunning. Though to be honest, my first thought was of the Flash's headgear.

2. Flash

I don't think Flash had enough money for that little number.

8. Maybe for Arwen Evenstar, to go with Aragorn's winged crown

10. Well, it would definitely look better on her.

11. Do you need to have a link if the picture is posted? I honestly don't know. I thought you only

a link for the person to follow. I don't do pics personally, because I have no idea how to post pics or links. Maybe that's the problem for him too? Just asking, no snark intended.

12. Actually, reference to a link or source is customary for any quotation, & a photo counts as that...

Some sources are more reliable than others, for instance. In any case, this gentleman loves to post photos, often without comment, and nearly always without a link. Call me a nag, call me a schoolmarm, but after a hundred or so (yes, that’s an exaggeration) I started posting “Source? Link?” periodically.

Links are dead easy — on my iPad I go to the top of the page where it says
democraticunderground.com
and I click on it to highlight it, choose Copy, and paste it right here
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=post&forum=1018&pid=1787491

That is the particular page I am now writing on. Different computers probably have different but equally easy methods.
Cheers.

General Discussion, posted 5 or six times and stopped as I thought I came across as not as knowledgeable. Kept account open and began posting again.
