Stalking the Belle Époque: Mastery of Design, Here’s another lovely item which I’d like to own. But, of course, it’s in the V&A. Here, we see the head of
a winged comb.Originally, this was made as the crest of a tiara, but in 1900, it was adapted to be worn as a comb at the rear of a lady’s head, as was the style of the time. A creation of bleached tortoise-shell, it features 
gold and silver mounts set with rose-and brilliant-cut diamonds and pearls. Sadly, the comb teeth are missing. This and the original tiara were created in France by an unknown jeweler. Source: Stalking the Belle Époque: Mastery of Design
